I bought a Sager years ago there are priced fairly good for the price, and they usually use a MXM platform for the gpu, so you can upgrade the graphics and keep you laptop longer, Asus will usually do an integrated chip on the mobo, meaning no possible upgarding in the future, I have also found that Sager offers more custom options (multiply HDDs, ram type, display etc).

I would go with the Asus. I've owned a sager and there is a reason they are priced so low for the specs they deliver, they sacrifice build quality. I had the plastic beginning to crack in different areas after just a lil over a year of owning it and I was by no means rough on it. From day one it didn't feel that solid to me and the chassis was creaky.

Looking at the base models on XOTICPC, it looks like the Sager is pretty awesome value for the specs - for around the same price, you'll get a better CPU/GPU than the ASUS.
 
However, I'm not too familiar with Sager models, and I guess that's a newer one, because I can't find any reviews for it yet. I know the ASUS ROG laptops have very good cooling to keep temps down, and I wish I could find some benchmarks to see what the thermals are like on the Sager.
 
Also, keep in mind that one's a 15" laptop and the other is 17" if that matters to you.
