Default Intake question

I currently have an AEM short ram air intake/k&n filter. works well, no problems, it gives off a cool little whistle sound when i drive that makes me happy....anyway..

my question mainly focuses on CAI vs the ram air. yeah, i know it's one of those annoying old questions, but i've been thinking about the pros and cons, and not taking into consideration the horrible rainy season here in FL, which do you feel is better? the ram air has more space to work with, being able to pull in air with less restriction, yet it is really close to the motor giving off heat. on the other hand, the CAI is far enough away from from the motor to not worry about it's heat give off, but even if carefully placed, does it have enough room to breathe down there? is it really worth it to invest in CAI or just stick with the ram air? LMK. thanks guys.
