Lianli Lancool 217 vs Fractal Design North

I noticed the Lianli Lancool 217 was available for sale today. I just bought the Fractal Design North. I checked the specs and read some of the reviews on the 217. It seems like they're both fairly similar. The LianLi includes more fans, psu is side mountable, and overall size is a bit bigger than the North, but smaller than the North XL. The front ports of the 217 are also located on the bottom, which seems to be a bit controversial with no way to relocate them to the top like the 216. Currently, the 217 is a bit cheaper to in the US at $120 vs $140 for the North.

Apart from its front port location, are there any other drawbacks to the 217 (assuming slightly larger size doesn't matter)? Am I missing any features that the North offers that the 217 lacks?
