Coolermaster HHC-001 fan vs. Vantec Tornado 84.1 cfm fan (noise levels)

Has anyone out there heard both the fan on the hhc-001 and a 84.1 cfm vantec tornado? I know the tornado is rated at 55 dba and the coolermaster is rated in the upper thirties, but since the tornado is 80 mm, I was thinking the difference between the two might not be that noticable. Any opinions are appreciated.
 
I personally find the 80mm fan to be louder. the 60mm is quieter, and it has more of a "whine" to it. The 80mm fan is more of a roar, somewhat akin to a waterfall heard from afar. It depends on which you find to be more irritating, however. Some people simply cannot handle the whine of a highspeed 60mm fan and find the noise of even the 84cfm 80mm fan to be much less irritating.
