I know that both of these use Micron D9 ICs, but which is "higher quality" and capable of going to higher speeds with lower latencies and voltage?

I purchased both of them for about the same price (Crucial at 155 AR and OCZ for 140 AR). But haven't opened either package because I haven't decided which one I want to keep and which one I want to sell. Another thing to keep in mind is that OCZ warranties this ram up to 2.4v whereas Crucial only warranties to 2.2v).

So basically i'm asking, which of these have been proven to consistently perform better?

Does one of these have higher-binned chips than the other?
 
I've heard of far more high quality results with the Crucial, timings and max mhz.
