I am going to be replacing my Antec Sonata Proto case with something a little more roomy and that offers better airflow and cooling.

Current set up:

Corsair GS600 PSU
ASUS M5A97
FX-8320 (buying aftermarket cooler soon)
16 GB Corsair XMS3 RAM
EVGA GTX 770 SC
wifi card
Xonar DG Sound
1TB 5400 Barracuda
Optical Drive

The 400R looks nice and has some good reviews, but I have read that some people said it is cheap and has bad QC.

The Midi R2 doesn't look all that great and I haven't read much about its specs, but I have seen numerous people on here say that it is the best case for the price.

Any thoughts would be great, or if there are other options you think would be better, I am all ears. ~$100 price is preferred.

Thanks.

I'm a fan of both Corsair and Fractal Design when it comes to cases. I have used and still use both (see my sig). The Fractal Designs I've had seem to be slightly better quality-wise, but not enough to be a deal breaker either way. The Corsair 400r certainly looks better, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
