Stainmaster or Smartstrand

Hello:

To all those who may have installed smartstrand carpet how does everyone like it? I found a Stainmaster Extra Life II good price, density around 3700, twist 6 and faceweight 50 oz. I was all set but then found a smartstrand 3271 density 5.5 twist and 60 oz faceweight. Couple of things the Stainmaster is very difficult to see the backing, fibers don't have much move when you run your hand across them. The Smartstrand is very easy to move the fibers and much more plush. So I am wondering how this carpet will hold up as far as wear? Will the fibers bend and look matted down more quickly? The carpet will be going upstairs in bedroom and stairs.

Thanks to those who can offer some advice!!!
