Half Elf vs. Wood Elf Bard?

[Draulius]

I've narrowed down the choice of race for my bard to either be Wood Elf or Half Elf. Which is the better choice for either looks or min/maxing and why?

So far this is what I've learned:
Half Elf if you want to look like Robocop, Wood Elf if you don't.
Half Elf has better starting stats.
Half Elf has safer faction due to being Neutral.
Wood Elf has Forage and a slightly better Hide.
Wood Elf can wear Small Armor, Half Elf can't.
Wood Elf has sweet abs.

Anything else?
