It really depends on opinion. IMO the S340 looks a lot better but those two cases are pretty similar except for looks, so you should probably go with the one you prefer.

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

I just want to note that you might not be able to fit a 212 evo in the spec-02, so if you will be using that cooler or a taller one, you might want to reconsider. I'm not sure about the dimensions of the s340. 

I can confirm none of the SPEC series allow a 212 evo

@Vastraguero I've got an i7 and a GTX 970 in an S340. Airflow is great. I did a little experiment to demonstrate.

Die temps are all/both 70C and under.

I'd say the only negative is that to clean the PSU filter, you'll basically have to put the case on its side because the filter doesn't slide out.
