Id eliminate the second from the selection 35.3 isn''t a high enough crown for a 40.4 pavilion.
Do you have IS images or other info on the first?

Thanks strm

No IS on any of them yet. I''m still on my never-ending upgrade path

I thought that the #''s looked a bit funny for the second one but didn''t really know enough to know why.

You''re up late!

I''m on holidays in Oz so that''s my excuse

Personally I like G SI over H VS

but i prefer the spreadier shallower stone that will not die as much when it is dirty

Another vote for the first one.
