New Case Recommendation

My current case is a cheap ATX case with an underpowered (280 watt) power supply. I want to upgrade it to something with a better power supply, quieter noise levels and better cooling. I am considering the Antec Sonata II.

I have also looked at the Antec P180 but am confused why this case sells for so much more than the Sonata II? Is it that much better?

I would appreciate any advice as to which case would be best for me. Feel free to suggest a case that I have not mentioned.

Edit - I forgot to include a price range. I would like to stay under $150 for the case, power supply and shipping if possible.
 
Okay, I have read just about every write-up I can find on these two cases. I like some aspects of the P180 better, but for the price difference between the two(including power supply), I don't think that it is worth it for me. I found a great price on the Sonata II on eBay so that made the choice easier.

A quick question for those of you with the Sonata II, I have two IDE hard drives, two IDE DVD drives, plus the case fan. That is at least five 4-pin connectors that I need for my system. Does the power supply inlcuded have that many, or should I purchase a few y-cables?
