New Case

Hello guys, 

I'm currently thinking of purchasing a new case that will allow for adequate airflow but also allows me to watercool if I see fit.
My current case is a Raidmax Super Aeolus and currently just with fans I don't think it will allow me to add radiators.
There are 2 cases that interest me right now but I am open to suggestions.

Corsair Carbide Air 540 and Corsair Obsidian 450D. My current and only problem with the Air 540 is that it only allows me 2 hard drives.
I really like how it looks though and the additional cable management space is a bonus. The features I like with the 450D are the additional drive cages and the spring SSD things looks fancy :D The downside for that case for me is, I'm not really good with cable management and what Linus said about the case concerns me, he said it lacks places to latch cable ties to. 

Your thoughts are appreciated :D

But I also like the 450D... I was hoping to get a new opinion to consider.
