Which drive?

I am trying to figure out which drive to get. My choices are the Quantum Fireball Ict08 8.4G or the Quantum Fireball CX of the same size (for the parents). I can get either for $79 + shipping which I think is a pretty good deal.
Help needed, thanks.
 
A quick peek at quantum's website shows both to be 9.5ms Seek 5400rpm drives...but the Ict08 is newer (it's on their products front page, the CX is in porduct archives) so I'd go with it.
 
I concur with BigJon (thanks for pointing that drive out, BigJon).

It's 30% faster (spindle rotation - which doesn't count density improvements), it's ~400% bigger, it's got a 400% bigger cache, and it costs the same after rebate. What's to consider?
 
I see other drives with rebates,do they need 30g?Your local office depot has a 20g for 99.i think its a wd.No shipping hell to go thru.
