1600 MHz CL9 vs 1866 MH CL10

I'm debating between these two memory kits and I was hoping someone could help me decide.

1600MHz, CL9:

1866MHz CL10:

The 1866 one is cheaper.
The 1600 one is smaller in case I change the stock cooler.

My system:
Asus Z97-K
Intel i5-4690K

I don't really overclock though I like having the possibility.

The 1866 will provide slightly better performance, even with the CL10 due to the higher bandwidth

After a bit of searching I found these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233281

1866 MHz with CL9, so win win. And they're only 10$ more expensive than the CL10, while only 5$ more than the CL9.

Sounds good, I'd say go 4 it 😉
