I can't decide which case to get- both look great and both have their pros and cons, but they seem so close.

I'd go with the P400s since it has many objective +'s, where the S340's +'s are subjective e.g. both shrouds on both case are pretty much the same only real diff is the P400s lacks the 2 ssd mounts because they've been relocated to the back of the mother board tray.
