XTR Canti's vs FSA SL-K

Which would you rather have on your CX bike from a performance stand point?

I have XTR canti's that I am looking to get rid of and someone offered me a brand new set of FSA SL-K canti's as a straight up trade.

Is the trade a good idea or am I holding a much better (even though 16yrs older) brake set?

Thanks in advance.

The coolness factor is higher on the XTR's. The stopping power on the FSA's is stronger.

I wouldnt mind being cool just once but I guess coolness is a worthy sacrafice for being able to stop better

Do the SL-K out perform the Shorty 6's already on the bike?

I have the SL-K's and they blow away the cane creeks, which are probably similar to the shorty's
