MacLife or MacWorld?

If you're a die-hard Mac fan like me, you probably follow Apple and Apple related news with RSS feeds, blogs and events. However another way to go are magazines. But: which major Mac publisher will you choose? MacWorld? or MacLife? I personally have been a subscriber to both for exactly a year and honestly, I favor MacWorld. But then again, it depends on what you want to read. As far as content, they're pretty closely related but since MacWorld has slightly better funding than MacLife, they sometimes get to review some pretty cool and expensive hardware and software whereas MacLife doesn't. Plus MacWorld has a few more connections since they're an older publication. Don't sell out to MacWorld yet though because MacLife also has it's perks. Their writing style is a less formal and more personal so typically younger readers will probably find it more enjoyable and easy to read. MacLife also has an extensive variety of content from Macs, to iPhones to new concept devices. Even though I'm only fourteen, I switched back to MacWorld just because I liked their writing style better and they seem to get delivered faster. The devliery delay may have been the mail carrier but even so, MacWorld came just before the first of the next month with very up-to-date news. MacLife also has more reviews, opinions, tips and user write-ins than MacWorld while MacWorld features much more news and history on Apple along with everything MacLife has. So now it's up to you: which publication deserves your attention. MacLife? or MacWorld. Are you a subscriber to one of these magazines? Comment with which one and why you like it.

I just recently started receiving the MacLife magazine. I am not all that happy with it the. They writing style seems as thought its for people just getting into makes. Macworld is for more avid users, in my opinion.
