Seems like a good deal. I just can't get passed the CL46 timings on the crucial. I'm looking at Kingston Fury, which have CL40 timings for the same speed.
actually, I went with these. Same specs as the Kingston mentioned above:
Don't have any experience with timings specifically but figured the speed is more noticeable in mhz. How much real world difference is CL40 vs CL 46? Those gskills are double the price as crucial too…

Double because twice the space.
Timings are important because since processors run much faster than RAM, the longer the CPU has to wait ("clocks" or "clock ticks" of the driving frequency) for the memory to produce the data, the slower the overall performance (in memory-intensive operations).
So while one generally doesn't gain much between Ex. 40 vs 38, in your question on 40 vs 46, a little slower operation might be noticed. Or not. Benchmark testing would show a difference.
