Going off your pictures exclusively-
I think they look to be nice. I don’t see any nail head/fisheye that would bother me.
They both seem to have the pronounced pattern I like to see in the perimeter area.
If I had to choose between the two off of the pictured - I would choose the first one.
I, however, am not a fan of either center pattern, but that is strictly personal taste.
If I had the luxury of shopping for an OEC of this size - I would hold out for that reason alone.
I’m no expert but I much, much prefer the M, but since you don’t love it I would wait for the stone that makes you giddy. Having said that though, when I bought my Oec (which was clearly a winner, everyone here said so) it took having it in my possession to let myself believe. I was so scared of being wrong ...again ...my head was doing crazy things to rationalise it as a bad choice. Now I am in love.
Did you give the stats on the second one?

I wonder.......if that first one has enough pavilion material available for a tweak by a cutter for a more pronounced floral vibe??. I know it’s risky..... - I just looked at LAD’s videos - I think it performs beautifully in motion. I honestly don’t know If I’d regret the more pinwheel pattern later on or not? But thats just personal preference.
@Honeybasil I think I like this new contender more than the M! There’s not a strong flower happening under the table but the face-on appearance is very appealing - especially in your 4th picture of the first post. It’s nice and blocky.
Which one do your eyes prefer and do either of them make your heart go pitter patter?
Great choice!!!! Such great OEC!!!!! It’s one of a kind indeed.
