I dont know if the low voltage kit is OK at 1.5V . I assume it is, I wouldnt go any higher on that voltage though.
I actually have the 1866Mhz Sniper kit. I have them set to 8-8-8-24 @ 1600Mhz right now. I tried 7-8-8-24 @1600Mhz 1.53v they were unstable.
This is why I recommend the CAS7 kit.

I think since their low voltage though the tightest they could get them was CAS9 w/o raising the voltage.

I slimmed down your comparison a little...
No, the timings don't go up also, you have to set them yourself, however stability is another issue.
I say the CAS7 ones because if their stable at those clocks then their probably the better OCers. They could handle a lower CAS and higher clock better.
With the 7-8-8-24 @1600Mhz kit You might be more stable at 8-8-8-24 @ 1866Mhz than if you tried the same with the Kit thats already rated at 1866Mhz.
