RAM selection

I realised I chose the wrong RAM for my system and am able to exchange it for another kit. I am looking at the corsair vengeance lp, however this is not available for exchange. Is their any difference between the regular and the lp? Or is it just personal preference?

The Low Profile ram just has a less bulkier heatsink so it won't interfere with bulky air heatsinks like the Noctua NH-D14 or the CM Hyper 212 Evo. G.Skill and Kingston both are good brands for ram. I like the Samsung 30nm MV-3V4G3D/US 2*4gb 1600mhz because it has no heat spreader so it won't interfere with large heatsinks and I saw reviews that it can overclock pretty good even though it has no heat spreader.

Thanks, I've decided to go with Kingston HyperX Genesis in grey and I believe it will look pretty cool in my system :)
