It's Poll! I'd say any vote on this would be like the federal election, so I'll shortcut it and I'll be the Bob katter for a minute! 4480s for up high, 4499s down low. No contest.

I voted 4480s only coz I have them

Both have their usages for different requirements. There is no better or worse choice.
