It all depends if you want to worry about things that make no difference in the real world. You can not really directly compare without know things like what motherboard and processor you are using. Still does it really matter if one board might be .00001ms faster or slower. When you consider many web sites are many 100s of ms. So you are going to have to really dig and learn all about different PCI bus clock rates and such to even think to get a number.

Both will transfer data very close to 1gbit/sec with almost no internal delays.

If you are talking about the so called gaming accelerator stuff killer does that is all marketing. It can only affect stuff on the machine itself not other machine in your house or the internet. Now if you are being really stupid and running torrent file transfer at the same time you are playing your game it can give your game priority.....but if you need good game performance why would you run the torrents in the first place.

Okay, thank you! I got a Killer NIC 2100 that haven't been used for ages and though whether there is any point installing it. I'll stay with 1350-T2.

I tend to always use intel, much fewer strange issue with the drivers. All you do is search for killer and drivers and you find massive number of posts about the problems people have with the killer features.
