Somewhat torn between two SSD's

What do you think I should go for? I'm looking to move to SATA 3 since I have the capability to do so. I saw only one difference between the two besides the color of the sticker.
The OCZ Agility 3 -

or
The OCZ Solid 3 -

The only difference I saw between them was the Read/Write IOPS. There's only about $20 difference between them on the egg too.
EDIT:
Btw, I'm looking at getting the 60GB versions

I'm in the middle of a review on the Agility series but I haven't seen anything on the Solid series. The specs are pretty close though. Unless the $20 is not that big a deal to you, I'd go with the cheaper one. Any difference won't be discernible outside of benchmarks.

$20 isn't that big of a difference for me. If the difference isn't that much, I'll just get the cheaper one. It would match the color scheme I have going anyway..Thanks for the info

$20 isn't much of a difference to me so i would go with the Agility.
The Agility 3 delivers up to 525MB/s reads, 500MB/s writes, and up to 60,000 4KB random write IOPS while the value-oriented Solid 3 features 500MB/s reads, 450MB/s writes, and 20,000 4KB random write IOPS.

Yeah but again, unless you are benchmarking or doing very long I/O intensive tasks, you'll never know the difference.

I got the Solid 3....Almost went for the Agility since the Solid was OOS but then it was available.. should be here Monday. Not sure if I'm gonna install it or wait until next week when i get a Sata 3 VR. I ran out of room on my current one
