Unfortunately it was the Vive,
Apart from the fact that the Vive ships with the hand held controllers, that let you interact with the virtual world, I see very little point in purchasing the Vive.
To my eyes, the optics are better on the rift, also love the built in headphones, and the sound quality is very decent.
The headset is lighter and more comfortable to wear, and easier to put on & off.
Another plus for the rift, is that there is no massive wiring loom coming out of the back of your head. On the Rift, it is one cable, which splits into 2 (1 X Hdmi \ 1 x USB) no silly breakout extender box.
Another negative for the Vive, is the situation with the lighthouse's. You either have to hardmount them to a wall, or you have to buy extra poles & brackets. With the Rift, all you have is a sensor which has its own stand, which you can put anywhere.
The above are all my own personal observations, but I thought I would share them with others on here, who want to try and make a more informed descision, of which one too buy.
