They both look good to me! I guess as long as the VS2 is eye clean than I'd go for the larger one, but truly I don't think you could go wrong with either selection.

Number two is the safer bet.

I like #2 better... The little bits of white under the table of #1 make-a me nervous....

It would me too if it hadn't already been evaluated by AGS for light performance. I'm thinking that it's an image thing, otherwise AGS wouldn't have scored it so well for cut and performance.
