Pros and cons of Cakephp versus Laravel

Dear Cakephp gurus,

I have used cakephp in a past project (simple one) and I would like to continue using cakephp in a new project. There are some voices which advocate using Laravel which is an up-and-coming php framework. 

For experienced programmers who know something about both frameworks, could you tell me what are the pros and cons?

Since I use cakephp before, here are my comments about cakephp;

Pros

- It uses convention over configuration

I like this because I am forgetful. If the framework uses configuration over convention, I may miss out things to configure when things are changed or added to the code.

Cons

- It does quite a bit of magic in the background(can be good or bad) and loses flexibility in the process. If the programmer wants to do special things, he may have to fight cakephp.
