Lumia 610 vs. Lumia 710. Who's side are you on?

After Nokia announced its most affordable Lumia phone yet, it was unclear how this beautiful phone could possibly be cheaper than the 710.
They run the same windows phone, have the same screen size and use the same camera.

So let's do a quick comparison of these 2 welterweights, shall we!

On one corner, we have the Lumia 610, a beautifully crafted phone (much like the C7) with a chrome front bezel and a glossy back cover that extends to the front quite nicely, it's running the latest version of WinPho7 (Tango), it main features are 800MHz processor, 3.7" display, 5MP Camera, 256mb RAM.
and on the other corner, we have the Lumia 710, with its rather simple design and front physical buttons(exactly like the Nokia 603), running WinPho7 tango, its main features are 1.4 snapdragon CPU, 3.7" CB display, 5MP camera, 512mb RAM.

Comparison:

Let me add the Lumia 710 does come with inter-changeable back

Personally, If I were Nokia, I would've swap specs between the 2 phones, have the 610 with a 1.4GHz CPU, HD recording, 512mb RAM, this would make it a more decent device both specs and aesthetics wise., but that is not the case here.

So which of the two would you get? would you go for aesthetics and pick the Lumia 610? or go for power and take the Lumia 710?
