Help me decided Alienware m17x or Dell XPS M1730

Both are used. Please help me decide.

First the specs:

Alienware m17x:

intel core duo x-treme (8600 2.4 ghz not over clocked)
4gigs ddr3
nvidia dual 260 gtx card, running sli,
250 gig hard drive @ 7200 rpm
dvdrw

Dell XPS M1730:
Processor: INTEL CORE2DUO T7700 (2X2.4=4.8GHZ)) Fully 64bit Processor!
Memory: 4096MB DDR2 Memory
Hard Drive: 2X300GB=600GB (7200RPM HDD!) high speed hard drive (for quick access to your applications/programs)
Optical Drive: BLU-RAY PLAYER and MULTI-FORMAT DVDRW ; True Digital DVD multiformat (Burn and play any type of DVD and CDs)
Wireless: INTEL 4965 802.11N 802.11(A/B/G/N)
Screen: 17" (1920X1200 RESOLUTION) 1080P
Graphic: DUAL NVIDIA 8700M GT SLI CONFIGURED
Battery: HOLDS GOOD CHARGE

Now the bad thing is the XPS has been dropped and has some cracks but everything works perfect. the good is that it has more HD space and a blu ray drive

the Alienware still has 6 months on the warantee left.

the XPS I can get for about 800 and the alienware 1200.

I'm alil cofused as to which has the better CPU/GPU but both are sli.

Please give me you opinions! Thanks!

8700M is the crappier one

for example it comes in at #60 on this handy chart http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html
