How come CoolerMaster Silencio 652S cost a lot more than Antec P100?

I am trying to shift to a new brush Al case, the above is $120

this Antec P100 case, is $70

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...29199&cm_re=antec_p100-_-11-129-199-_-Product

both case are brush Al on the front, silent fans, same dimension, so how does coolermaster justify $50 more?

At first glance, my experience with Antec is that they do a good job of making plastic look like metal. Cooler Master, on the other hand, usually uses a lot of steel.

Personally, I think the P100 looks better, but I would be wary of cost-cutting measures at that price point.
 
I installed about 2 dozen of those P100 antec case. They look fine. There are some quality control problem (damage cases from unknown cause), but quality wise, it's quite good. To me, for a $50 difference on a case, I need to see some sort of quality improve to justify that $50

Is there a coolermaster representative here?
