Corsair AF120 Quiet Edition Low Noise High Airflow

I'm looking to replace the front intake fan I have (bitfenix ) with two of these would these be the better airflow option?


OR


Would two of these be better?

Corsair AF120 Performance Series Low Noise High Airflow - Dual Pack



What's the difference from performance low noise high airflow and quiet edition low noise high airflow?

I'd be running them along with the single version of the same fan, for the rear of the case so I'd be looking for 3 in total to be run off the case fan controller.

I just don't know which is the better option and what is the difference between them? It's for airflow mainly as I've got 2 SP (static pressure) versions for my h100 cooler.
 
Personally ive found that the SP models work better as intakes, i have a mix of AF/SP's in my case, after a bit of messing around with different configs i settled on SP's for front and bottom intake, AF's for rear and top exhaust. The SP's are better at pushing air through obstacles such as hdd trays, rads and heatsinks.
 
I have my h100 mounted in the roof of the case with two SP 120mm fans so I was wanting to know about the better airflow option for the front and rear of the case.

I've currently got this in the front http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-047-BX&groupid=701&catid=2331&subcat=2335

and a http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-009-BX&groupid=701&catid=2331&subcat=4
as a rear exhaust

I wanted to get the red rings of the corsair fans to match the SP red ring of the SP rad fans in the h100.

All I want to know is the difference between the two SF types I put in the first post and which would be the better option for airflow. My MSI 280x dumps heat int eh case and I want to get decent fans to help remove that heat without the heat being sucked up through the h100.

It's mainly performance to noise ratio and the balance in between. The QE (Quiet Edition) was made for those who are very particular to noise level. The QE is the tone down version of PE (Performance Edition) with out compromising much of the cooling performance. You can see the side by side comparison spec here:

I popped a bitfenix spectre pro 200mm red LED in the front of mine, it's MILES better than the stock 600t fan and it's pretty quiet considering
 
I've got teh bitfenix white led 200mm in my case just now, I just want to go down the "red" route and have all red given my mobo colour etc.

Looks like i'll go the red quiet af ones. Special thanks to Greybeard for that link, it confirmed what I was wanting to know.

...NONE IN STOCK WTF??? nooooooo :(
