As the title says, I'm replacing the fans because they're just old (Jan 2012) and too loud for my liking. Because my CPU temps are quite high on several OCs (4, 4.4, 4.6) I'm also replacing the thermal paste because it's equally old. This is just to paint a complete picture.
In mind I had (and ordered for delivery tomorrow, but I can always return them):

They have less airflow (62.74 CFM vs 92 on the stock H80 fans) but since they are the newer product they might better at their job and be a tad quieter as well? That and I see Tom using similar ones in his vids so I know they must be good!
Basically I want good cooling performance from the fans as well (push-pull: [outside] [inside] < fan [radiator] < fan)
Hence I ask because these new fans are a bit lower specced.
