anyone have any experience of the NZXT H500 or Phantek 400s

I have now decided on one of these 2 cases - basically similar prices and looks. Anyone used either and if is there anything thing that makes one better than the other

I Have the "NZXT H500 White", A little smaller case, Quick rel tam-glass side Panel no thumb Screws, top of the case room for 1 x 120mm/140mm fan, Front up to 280mm Rad, rear 1x 120mm Rad, CPU Cooler: 165mm in height

"Phantek 400": as more HDD/SSD storage options (if you buy them extra Trays ) ,
top panel of the case room for 2 x fans 120mm/140mm & Little better rad options for Liquid Cooling ROOM : Front - Up to 360mm (with removal of midplate cover) or 280mm (without removal), Rear - 120mm , CPU Cooler: 160mm height.
,300mm Phanteks RGB LED Strip Included.

Basically, the NZXT H500 a smaller case & with quick rel glass panel, easy to connect the front Wires to the motherboard as they all in one block, only real benefits,

Yep Newer case & also looks like the phantek 400 plastic roof and front panel, H500 all quality metal
H500 case you only need 2 fans one on rear & one on the top rear for exhaust, comes with stocks fans.
