I thought the noticeable difference was that there are no sizes available in one of the speed ratings?

Also, keep in mind when comparing the Contis and the Wintersports. The Contis are *not* "performance winter tires". You can't compare their TireRack ratings to each other directly. It'd be like saying the 1st rated all-season tires handles better than the 2nd best competition tire at autocross. Best in class != best overall. IMO, the Wintersports should be *tons* better in the dry than the Continentals, as they're a whole class up from the "studless ice & snow" class.

Then again, I've never run on the Contis... maybe they're not classed properly.
