Wow, I am very surprised at the difference. The .GIF version is not crisp at all. The .PNG version looks great, the .GIF looks pretty bad.
Oh, BTW... I have IE 7 on my box and the PNG's have no problem. They look just as good as they do in Firefox.

That's because PNG supports alpha transparency, whereas GIF only support binary transparency. Therefore, PNG images "blend" into the background much better. I've always used PNG images over GIFs. I've pretty much stopped caring that IE6 doesn't properly support them. Get Firefox or deal with it, IMHO.
