@bdp24 is correct: LISTEN to both in your system at home and then make a decision. What YOU like has no bearing on what others think or say or post.
As a former dealer, I am always amazed at people who do not wish to make their own decisions about gear. Asking for opinions is an excellent way to weed out items that may have reps for breaking or poor manufacturer support, etc., and of course it is always nice to hear what others think about something subjective, but in reality, the decision is YOURS alone.
Take them both home and buy the one that sounds best to YOU. As for cables, etc., well, let's just say that the electrons I have personally interviewed seem to be able to travel along wires fairly well regardless of the name on the box and let's leave it there.
Cheers, and good listening!
