Raleigh or Charlotte?

We have to decide by tomorrow whether we're going to move to Charlotte or Raleigh. My husband received two equally good job offers, and we are spinning our wheels as we try to choose!
I was wondering if anyone here had anything to say on the matter. Thanks!
Hi I'm from Greensboro, NC.
Personally I like Charlotte better. The downtown is pretty clean. Lots of stuff to do. Of course like any area with lots of people the traffic can be bad.
Do you fly a lot? Raleigh has a smaller airport which I better. It is easier park, get in and out of etc...
If you have kids Charlotte is more kid-friendly.
Driving on the belt-ways in Raleigh is tough. The traffic is a mess. I always get nervous going through there.
I think Charlotte is more family friendly and Raleigh is more fun (better bars, night life, a bit younger).
Traffic sucks in both, but not as bad as Atl, LA, or Dallas.
Charlotte is cleaner...Raleigh has more spunk.
I don't have kids and don't plan to, I'd choose Raleigh. If I was planning to have a family, I'd choose Charlotte.
Before I even read this I thought 'Raleigh'. I don't know anything about either place and have no idea where they even are, so do what your own gut tells ya.
