I cut together their "general specs" so you can easily compare them:

If you are planning to use them on a radiator then you should go for Shadow Wings, they have higher static pressure. I have a 140mm Shadow Wings fan and it's quiet.

The Silent Wings are quieter and have higher airflow, but they have less static pressure than Pure Wings.

 

Edit: Fixed the comparison (from mixed sizes to all 120mm fans).

silent wings is more quiet and puts out a couple CFM less

it also lasts longer and has a bit more static pressure

so basically its better :)

WHat's CFM?

cubic feet per minute

amount of air it moves

more is better

Silent Wings 2 is the Accord whereas Pure Wings 2 is the Civic. Both get the job done very nice, smoothly and quietly, however the Silent Wings justify the extra price by producing more airflow and being quieter.

What's with the comparison between 120mm and 140mm models? It should be 120 or 140 across the board, since 140mm fans will produce more airflow at lower RPMs and noise levels.

You're quite right, I thought I had all 120mm fans open. I'll upload the fixed version :)
