Mike@n54tuning had a sale for the AMS for like $629 or something you can see if that's still on, that puts both intercoolers into a closer price range.

For Cooling
Priority # 1 = Frontal surface area
IF you are frontal limited, than you use depth as an alternative.

If cooling isn't your main concern then look into the flow characteristics.

As for the CX people will complain of shrouding/radiator being covered etc... - so far nobody has reported any negative impacts from any of this.
For the AMS people will complain of price and who knows what else.

Everyone on here is extremely biased or a vendors best groupie, so instead of getting opinions just spend some time researching what makes a good intercooler and then make your own advised decision.
