750D airflow or Phantom 630?

Currently have the original phantom full tower but the cooling options are a bit limited (cpu cooler is too tall to fit a side fan on as well, the fans for the HDD bays just mess up airflow to gpus) and the space behind the mobo tray is a bit limited which has been a pain over the last 5 years.

Now that gpu performance and overclocking is even more linked to temps, I'm looking for something to get more airflow through the whole case.

Both cases look great in terms of function, and while I like the aesthetic and build materials of the 750D I'm concerned about not being able to put cold air straight to the gpu's due to the big window.

Thoughts? Something else entirely?
 
Quick follow up on this. Went with the 630 in the end, and it is hands down the easiest case I've ever built in. Cable management options galore. Lots of ways to configure the HDD cages. Just awesome. Cooling performance is good, and it's nice and quiet.

The panel on the window rattles a little when fan speeds are really low so I may have a fiddle to tighten it up, but putting case fans to medium fixes it so presumably the pressure just stops it wobbling.

Will get some pics up when it's light out.
