HWmonitor or HWinfo64

I use info on my Alienware laptop to control the fans, and I use monitor on my desktop where I don't need that.
I've used both of them recently to help diagnose a problem.
They both seem to display very comparable results (from sensors at least).
Monitor is a lot more simple, loads up quicker. If the information you want is in it, then probably easier to find.
HWInfo64 has a bewildering amount of information within it! Very much more in depth. So it may be more useful, or it may make the specific thing you're after difficult to spot.
To be honest, either were perfectly fine for my needs (checking voltages and temps).
