What will be the difference between a DB 8" or an MM 8" with 160 rms going to it?

Looking for testimonials on these subs, wondering if getting the MM is really necessary with 160 watts RMS going to it with my amp. I know the DB is rated at 180 RMS nominal compared to the MM's 250 RMS. And I see that the MM is more efficient thus will play louder with the same power. So that really onnly narrows it down to the extra cost involved. Is the MM worth it right now for my menial setup? I already have DB coax's in the doors by the way.
Truck system so far...

Well I installed the MM today and it sounds incredible. I got the small box to fit between my seats in my regular cab Sierra and I stuffed the box with polyfill and this sub sounds great. It perfectly complements the door speakers and I have a real balanced, coherent sound. Amazingly enough, Michael Jackson's Beat It sounds pretty awesome. Mr. Jackson's records were mixed very nicely apparently.Truck system so far...
