Which one to go; Yii or Symfony

Question

Okay. I'm NOT asking which one is better. I know Yii is not better than Symfony, Symfony is not better then Yii.

I'm asking which one should i go with it.

I want to give some points:

I have a large project which is very-well formatted and very-well coded. If you seen my codes you would think that i made my own framework but its not. It just that very-well coded. I'm using custom made Controllers for HTTP requests.

All i want to do is make my code much more easier to use and much more easier to understand and easier to edit. Component by component editing and extending.

I'm also using Zend Framework as a component but not framework base.

So, as you developers, which project framework for base coding do i really go with it. Yii or Symfony?

I actually loved Yii but Symfony's Bundle systemn and Namespaces are attract me. But i really wonder which one should i go.

As i said, im not asking which one is better. I want to get your throughts regarding to this issue.

I'm open for suggestions. Give me a path.

Yii is probably the truest 'framework' of all the options - it provides the scaffolding you need with almost no assumptions about how you would prefer to implement anything (except perhaps the inclusion of jQuery). It is incredibly fast to develop with, and very very fast to execute which translates to excellent scalability.

Projects I have used Yii for have always ended up well ahead of schedule - Yii just seems to make sense in the way it works. My experience with Symfony is limited, I will admit, but compared to Zend Yii is a breeze. The Gii MVC generator is a fantastic head start too, generating models and basic CRUD code from your database tables.

ALl this is just my opinion from my own experience, but that is what you asked for :)
