Thermalright XP-120 vs. Zalman 7700cu

[confusion]

Heya guys, I need a new heatsink for my new computer and im very confused as to which I should get. Right now I have a Thermalright XP-120 w/ Panaflo 114cfm and the fan just seems too noisy for me. (I can easily get my money back for this if I decide the Zalman would be better. So the fact that I already have one isn't a big factor)

I've heard good things about both, however it seems like the reviews I see online have a wide variety of results. Please let me know your experiences with either and which you think is the better hsf.

P.S. Is the weight of the 7700cu of any concern?

lol switch the fan first... panaflo 120 mm LOW seems to be good, there are others i'm sure though, the XP-120 is a good cooler and becides its using heatpipe techology while the 7700Cu is just a large hunk of metal
