I'm torn between all the cases.

I want it to house an ATX MB, GTX 680, H100/110, 2xSSD, 2xHDD and a Blu-ray player.

I'm currently leaning towards the 200R, as from specs, it would hold all the above - bar H110. Is there any other reason to get a more expensive Corsair case, other than being able to use a H110 instead of a H100?
 
I recommend the 650D as it's probably the best case (for temps) I've had for cooling with the H100. There's enough clearance between the motherboard and radiator if you decided to go push/pull config on the H100.

The hotswap tray at the top is quite useful too :)

Just to clarify, the 650D is by no means the best case for cooling overall. Just in your experience :)

Frankly, OP, not particularly, but the more expensive cases tend to have better quality and various other factors playing in their favour.

From my own personal experience with one I would thoroughly recommend the 600t.
Plenty of space for extra fans/rads etc. Great air cooling as well.

Very true, I was just going by the Corsair 550D (current), Corsair 650D, and Corsair 800D I have tried.

The best case I've probably ever had for cooling is the Coolermaster HAF 932 and the gazillions of fans I had in there! :)
But for Corsairs best case for air-cooling I think is the 600T (reading online reviews).

def agree here, got one delivered on friday from OCUK and the case is stunning and couldnt believe how fat it is as well.
 
I use a C70 and I find my temperatures are very cool, you'll just need some decent front fans. I used SP120's and they work a charm:) however, I have read some very decent reviews about the 500r and 600t, they'd also be worth checking out
