For aesthetics only, the phantom wins hands down, but if you don't need a flashy case that you may get tired of, the corsair 400r is my favorite of the other two options.

You should also consider the fractal design r4. I personally think it's the best looking case in that price range, but if you find it too plain or mini fridge-like, I don't blame you.

Sorry, I don't own any of the ones you asked about. Based on features alone, the corsair 400r and the nzxt phantom 410 are about equal, so it really comes down to personal preference. Reviews are great for both.
