So far I'm looking at the BitFenix Spectre PROs and the Corsair AF140s.

Both of them are available in white LEDs which is one of my requirements.

Would you guys recommend either of these fans for the front of my case? I've heard that pressure is more important than air flow when it comes to the front of PC cases which is why I started looking at the BitFenix as well.

Does it really make a difference in temps?

I'm in a similar situation but I don't want led fans. I narrowed the choice down to Corsair AF or Noctua A14. Leaning towards Noctua.

In your case I'd get the Corsair.

It seems like you've done some research as both fan seem like solid options.
Both seem to push a fair bit of air, but after seeing this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqKaGyFrk64
I found the Corsairs to have a more "natural" noise and less bearing noise. So between these two I'd personally go with Corsair's offering.

However my ultimate pick would probably be something like the Noctua's newest NF-A15 (150mm, fits 140mm sockets) and NZXT's HUE which is demonstrated here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZwYHEQsrwA
