nexen vs falken (opinions plz)

**i searched the sticky, but only 1 person reviewed them**
im in the market to get new tires soon (within a week or so)
and am wanting some opinions/inputs on which tires i should have

im currently using falken ziex 512
215/45/17
they're an all season, and so far riding on them for the past year was pretty good, no complaints on wet or dry handling.

but now am not to sure if i should get the same set or should i try
nexen n3000
215/40/17
they're supposidly a summer tire, but i can't confirm 100% on that..

does anyone have any experience w/ the n3000? if so can you tell me how you liked them, specifically how they handled in wet surfaces? they are cheaper then the 512, but wanted to know if i should try em? or stick to what i've used..

any input would be appreciated! thanks!

if you want a summer tire go Falken FK451. If you want all season stay with the 512

IMO and many others. The Nexens are comparable to the Kumho's which are good last minute if you need to buy it asap. Stick with the Falkens. If you happy with what you got, why change it and regret it?
