Bilstein 5100 or 5150s??

Are the 5150's really worth the extra cash. AP 5100s are $75 and 5150s are $89. I know the 5159 show less fade after a long day of use, but is there any other advantages to them like a smoother ride or better long road trip ride, ANYTHING. I'm stuck b/w the two, I can afford to go 5150s all around but I wanna know if I could save $50 and be just as happy?

the guy told my to use 5150's if you are a fast driver on the trail, jumping, and using your truck as a race car. the only thing the reservoir does is hold more fluid so the shocks can stay a little cooler
he ran 5100's and thats what he recomended but they sent me the 5150's on accident and with them being in CO i guess they figured it would be cheaper for me to keep them then ship the 5100's and return ship the 5150's so

Yup that is all I can really see is the bling factor. I guess I'll just be going with the 5100s. Unless someone has info that they are better enough to justify the $14 difference.
