Radeon 9500pro: Hercules vs. Sapphire

i am considering a 9500pro and have discovered that these two brands have the same price, i tried to do a little research but i couldnt find much. Out of personal experience or websites i cant find, which of the two would be the better.
Cheers

I lean towards the Sapphire. But it's just a personal preference. I have heard good things about Hercules, so you canna go wrong with it.

If they are the same price, I'd base my choice upon the software package included (games) and/or the overclocking capability.

Also, Sapphire is the company that makes some of the "built-by-ATi" Radeons, so you can have an idea about the quality of their cards.
