If memory isn't completely failing me I think I recall Henry Spencer
once saying to pick them both up and buy the heavier one!
(Bigger heatsinks and beefier components certainly don't hurt. Granted,
there are a few other factors, including efficiency if you're paying
for your own power these days and it's for a 24/7 box.)
