Reply to "What would you pick between these?"

Thanks for all the input.  In my quest to keep all things RR's of the South,  have to make compromises on proportions some times, but that is OK for my RR world.  I do splurge though, and use non-South power because the loco is cool looking and just consider it rented, borrowed, or a railfan trip when the UP is on a siding with the Central of Georgia.
