Hella 1000's or Piaa 520's?

Ok, so I'm debating between Hella 1000's or Piaa 520's. Both driving beam patterns as I do a lot of highway driving.

All the research I have done seems to point to the Hella 500's being lower performance and quality vs. the others mentioned above.

Anyone have experience with either, and what are your thoughts? I'm going to be mounting to the front of the 2011 R56, and am debating between a two or four light set up.

Thanks!

I have a question cause I am interested in the 520 ATP ... the Xtreme white is it the same as the stock xenons on the 2011 MCS ??

I like the Hella but I think Piaa is just better quality .. thats why I am going to go with the 520 but I am going with the ATP ones because I would get more use out of it ...

Update: After totally obsessing about this I ended up ordering IPF's. Can't wait!
