The new RT's will get the 2nd gen Hemi's with the VVT system and better head making 370hp and 408ftlbs of torque. The RT seems like the better buy for now. But the SE and RT wont be available for another month or so.
The R/T definitely looks like the better deal. A few thousand less, better mileage, and cool retro R/T badges. You can mod an R/T and have it make more than 425hp for less than what it would cost to order an SRT8, and probably still get better gas mileage.
