Here's a video review of 750D,

And the specs page too,

From cable management standpoint, there's not much difference between the two cases. You got plenty of space behind MoBo tray with lots of tie down points in both cases. Rubberized cable routing holes are standard for high-end Corsair cases.

As far as cooling goes, i'd say 780T is better choice. Mostly due to it's built-in 3 speed fan controller that can support up to 5 fans.
Most MoBos only have 3 case fan connectors on them. When you have more than 3 case fans, you either have to use Y-splitter (to connect 2 fans to one MoBo connector) or...

I'd say that you go for the same full-tower ATX case that is also used in my Skylake (specs in my sig), a Corsair Graphite 760T,

Corsair 760T is one of the best full-tower ATX cases available.

For more curvier look, you can also go with Corsair Graphite 780T,

Since choosing a case is completely personal choice, recommending one to you is hard.
Good case has the features you need while having the looks that you like.

That being said, build quality vise, Phantheks Enthoo PRO M is on par with Corsair. Though i don't like the looks of Phanteks cases,
Enthoo series: http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Series.html
PRO M: http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Pro-M.html

Tom's Hardware also composed a list of cases that they deem to be best,
link: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-pc-cases,4183.html

Though, in that list there are mostly mid-tower ATX cases. I prefer full-tower ATX cases since i like my case to be spacious. The smaller the case, the less room for building inside the case.

Here's link to a topic where you can see my Skylake build and look for yourself how spacious Corsiar 760T is with ATX MoBo and 277 mm GPU (look for a 5th pic in my reply),
link: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-3272328/show-newest-system-upgrade-components.html#19094564

If you go with Corsair 780T full-tower ATX then it will last several years to come.

For users who frequently change the hardware, having a case that has easy to access case internals will help a lot. 760T and 780T case doors do open easily and you can remove the door without any effort. No need to mess with screws or thumb screws anymore.

Other Corsair cases that also use the easy to open case door are: Carbide 600C, Carbide 400C and Carbide Air 740.

From cable management standpoint, there's not much difference between the two cases. You got plenty of space behind MoBo tray with lots of tie down points in both cases. Rubberized cable routing holes are standard for high-end Corsair cases.

As far as cooling goes, i'd say 780T is better choice. Mostly due to it's built-in 3 speed fan controller that can support up to 5 fans.
Most MoBos only have 3 case fan connectors on them. When you have more than 3 case fans, you either have to use Y-splitter (to connect 2 fans to one MoBo connector) or use fan hub/controller.
If you mount all the fans in 750D, depending on the fan size you use (120 or 140mm) total amount of case fans would be either 7 or 8. Without built-in fan controller and only 3 case fan connectors on MoBo, you're left with 4 to 5 fans that needs to be connected somewhere.
No such problem on 780T. Fan controller houses 5 fans leaving 3 to be connected to the MoBo. Depending on fan size you use, total fans in 780T would be either 7 or 9.

780T also has a little better fan filtering built in. While 750D has only PSU fan filter, leaving the 2x 120mm bottom fans without a filter, 780T has the entire bottom of the case filtered.
Both cases also have top and front filters.

While 760D in front supports only 2x 120/140mm fans, 780T in front supports either 3x 120mm or 2x 140mm. 780T also allows you to set the height of your rear 120/140mm fan. No such luxury on 750D. 120/140mm fan mounts are fixed in place in 750D.

Also, there are plenty of space around GPU in both cases.

If you like the standard looks of 750D more than curvy looks of 780T, go with 750D. And vice-versa. It's pointless to have a case just because of the features it has while you dislike it's looks.
