SP 120: 62.74 CFM with 35 dBA
NF-12: 54.97 CFM with 22.4 dB
i would go for the NF-12 lower CMF but lower noise though i am only speaking for stats given i have neither fans.

Are you saying you already have them or those two are on your possible buy list?
If you have them, why not just give it a try?
Afaik, Corsair and Noctual are among those companies whose specs are usually quite
honest, but since measuring fan noise isn't really standardized I'm not sure how reliably
one can compare the two.
I have three SP120 Quiets and at least to me they don't seem that quiet to be honest. They're
not horribly loud or anything, but they definitely do make a fair bit of noise, at least for my
tastes. I realize that how much noise is perceived as being noisy is of course rather subjective
(as evidenced by the differences between your opinion on the fans and mine).
I do think that they're good fans (and they look awesome), but let's say I wouldn't recommend
them to somebody looking for ultimate silence. I don't know how loud the Performance edition
is, which would be more important here anyway.
