NVMe Drives: WD Blue SN570 vs WD Black SN750 SE

Hello all,
I am fairly tech-savvy, but am about to do my first computer built with an NVMe drive. It is just going to be a 500gb used as a Photoshop/Illustrator scratch disk. I don't do heavy 3D rendering, but I do work on very large images with many layers, sometimes upwards of 12,000 pixels wide and 40-50 layers.
The motherboard I will be using takes gen 3 drives. I jumped on two separate deals in the last week, and ended up grabbing a WD Blue SN570 and a WD Black SN 750 SE, both for $50. Now I'm trying to decide which to send back. It's my understanding that, being that I'll be running at Gen 3 speeds, the two will be pretty much indistinguishable in performance. I've seen comments here and there about things like DRAM and write cycles, but that's a bit over my head. Basically I'm just wondering: price and speed being essentially equal, does anything put one drive over the other? Longevity? Heat? (It is going in a fairly cramped build, if that matters) Any performance advantages for my specific use intentions?
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.
