Very sturdy case, I recommend replacing fans though. Overall, I'm very satisfied with it; however, the NZXT phantom comes close in terms of build quality.
How would you compare the LL case you have now to the NZXT and Bitfenix?

Pretty difficult to compare since this is a SSF case. The aluminum on the lian li looks and feels great as does the "rubber" used on the colossus. Really, it all comes down to what you personally like aesthetically. The brushed aluminum isn't noticeable in normal lighting (unless you get a red/silver color). The bitfenix and nzxt case are very similar and if I had to pick between the two, it'd probably be the bitfenix one since it looks more unique and is more rare. You can't go wrong with any.

Would you say that the soft touch finish easy to get dirty/fingerprints? What if I spilt a cup of water on it or something? how would you clean the case?

It will resists fingerprints, not to sure about greasy fingers. Dirt can just be wiped off and so can scratches. If you spill a cup of water on it, you can easily just wipe it off, it won't soak into anything

There isn't any "soft touch" on the side panels, though. Or my "beta" case didn't have any.

Well I'm eating some sausage and the grease from that can be simply wiped off w/ a napkin. It's like the soft rubber used on gaming mice
