Who is better - a three-section CBO with 120mm coolers or a two-section 140mm one?

Good day.

1.5 years ago, when assembling, I bought a three-section CBO NZXT Kraken x72 for a case excellent for any assembly - Corsair 780T.
Lately I have found a lot of shortcomings (rather aesthetic ones) in the case - extra space for disk drives (where I stuffed 2 hard drives through a sled), large case size, the inability to install 200mm fans in the front (although I was able to screw one, but this is thanks to new silicone fasteners, which at least how to keep the cooler) for consideration with maximum efficiency and less noise, etc.

When looking for new buildings within 15k, I don’t find ones worthy of mine, and if I find it, then with a place for a two-section CBO on top (I don’t want to in front).
It became interesting to me, top-end (well, from the old men of the market who have already released more than one ready-made CBO) dropsies with two 140mm coolers are much worse than three-section coolers with 120mm coolers?

It is interesting to hear the opinions of people who have any information on the topic.
Thanks

2x140mm - less noise, slightly smaller dissipation area, with low power of heat-generating components - allows you to use low speeds without reducing efficiency.
3x120mm - more noise, more scattering area.
In general, there is no difference.
Look at the required power dissipation and put the one that is optimal.

Of course, you'll excuse me, but any full tower case + good air per cent will provide you with silence and hemorrhoids ...
The meaning of it is still not clear to me
