I haven't used either but I plan to buy a set. There is no noticeable difference between the two in terms of specs other than a timing of difference of "1", which is where it confuses me, as the Platinum series carry timings of 7-7-7-24 on stock at while Gold series go at 8-8-8-24 yet the Gold series are more expensive? Why? They're both at the exact same stock speeds... And Platinum > Gold, lol.
