Question What headphones are best? Sony MDR-V6s or Sennheiser HD280s??

This is practically a poll. Anyone here has used both of these headphones with PT and is able to say which are best?
The application for which I need them is to monitor recording and to mix (not hardcore mixing, only "superficial" track volume/pan adjusting to even song arrangements out).

I´ve done a lot of research and found that the V6s are an industry standard. Also, they are lighter and put less pressure on the ear than the HD280's.
On the other hand, the HD280s are a lil heavier, more robust and durable (ear pads specially, the V6s pads deteriorate more).
Frequency response-wise, the reviews say both are pretty good, but the Sonys have more of a "V" response (less sharp on the mids), better for dance/trip hop kinda mixes (which is what I do). And the 280s offer a smooth and bold "powerhouse" response.

Anyone care to break this tie? Extend you answer as much as you want pls.
