It seems that the favorite 80mm fan of this forum is the panaflo L1A series. But after doing a bit of research, it seems (from the specs) as if the vantec stealth is a much better fan. They are both rated at 21dba but the vantec has airflow of 27CFM compared to the panaflo's 24. Now this isn't much, but if you include the fact that the stealth is usually a couple dollars cheaper, then I'm curious as to why this isn't so popular in this forum? The only other difference seems to be that the stealth utilized double ball bearing whereas the panaflo uses hydro wave.
Does anyone have have experience with both that can offer an opinion? I'm planning on purchasing a good amount of one of these but want to make sure I make the right decision.
