Opinions sought - memory foam vs latex?

Ok will try and keep this brief as poss.
We ordered an unknown brand "memory foam" king size mattress. When it was delivered we discovered we had been given a Silentnight "Latex" mattress instead (maybe they have stopped stocking the memory one?)
Ultimately we were after memory foam after trying a few in the shops and loving it. However the brand we ordered may not be as good as the expensive store versions!
Anyway we're going to have a lie on it tonight (without breaching money-back-guarantee rules I hope!) and see if we think it feels good, but our quandry is do we settle for it if we like it, or if not, call up and ask for what we ordered (risking it being not as good as store ones OR what we have now!)
We dont even know if we've gotten a mattress of similar value, as the Silentnight latex mattress on the store's site is not the same as this, and Silentnight told us the details about the mattress we have, and it's equivalent in other online stores is more expensive!
Ultimately we mainly wondered if anyone has any opinions on which may be better in the long run (ignoring how we think it feels), the latex or the memory foam!
Thanks and sorry - confusing I know!
