Default AA vs Minichamps Carrera GT

I've been wondering if anyone has had any chance to compare this two models, while the Minichamps seems to be a better built (more expensive too) the AA one comes in better colors, and AA quiality isn't too far from MC's...
So if anyone has a good review about any of these please post it...

I haven't seen the Minichamps Carrera GT but I have seen the Auto Art one, and it looks really nice and detailed as usual, so I would probably go with that one, and plus it's cheaper as mentioned. I might actually get one pretty soon.
