For their tests they note that the WD Red uses slightly less energy (which is important to them, when they have racks full of the drives) and also because it can lay down 1TB a day MORE than the Seagate. Again, a slightly different workload than most of us.
For them, the extra cost and power of the higher spec Seagate aren't worth it.
In summary: essentially equal performance (go to SSD if you need speed); essentially equal cost; slight edge on power to WD;
For reliability, no failures or pre-failures in 3 months of 24/7 operation.
