Most Quiet & Efficient 92mm Fan?

I'm thinking of getting a Thermalright SI-97 for my mobile Athlon XP 2600+, after seeing the ecstatic response over at OCForums about the SI-97. I've been using a Thermalright SP-97 and a 80mm Arctic Fan Pro 2L to cool my XP-M for the past couple of months, but I have an opportunity to sell the SP-97 to a friend and get this cooler.

My question is, what 92mm fan would you reccommend that is quiet and efficient? The Arctic Fan that I was using with the SP-97 was a quiet 80mm fan, running at 2500 RPM, pushing 32 CFMs at 22dB(A). I'm sure there's a 92mm fan out there that is just as (or more) quiet and efficient as the 80mm Arctic fan.
 
Panaflo FBA09A12M. (48 cfm & 30db @ 2400 rpm) I have one that is motherboard controlled cooling my XP-M. It is usually around 1700 rpm and very quiet.
 
Hmm, it looks like Panaflo then. 😀 Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Oh BTW, I hear people are also attaching a second fan to the SI-97's underside, since there is some space... I'm curious, does anyone know what size fan can fit the SI-97's underside?
