So I'm currently in the market for a new PSU, after my current one is on it's last leg. I've determined that I need a ~750W power supply (i5-3570k + gtx970), and I'm curious just how essential a 80+ gold is over an 80+ bronze. Essentially, I'm looking at either this EVGA bronze one (EVGA 750 BQ) versus an 80+ gold corsair one (CORSAIR RMx Series RM750X 750W):

Both have good reviews, and I don't care much that the EVGA is only "semi" modular versus the fully modular corsair PSU. So it comes down to two things. One is the brand, which I don't think makes much of a difference as EVGA and Corsair are both reputable. The other is that one is 80+ gold versus 80+ bronze. And I don't know if that's truly worth the extra expense. Any thoughts or suggestions is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
