Help me pick please. Simpsons Colonel x2l or Simpsons Commodore x3

Well after i bought a Simpsons Duke 3 which i think(and also a lot of the guys here on B&B) that it is amazing and can't seem to let it go and use another brush,i know want to get another Simpsons brush.
Now i like to bowl lather and face lather and this Duke does the job great in both areas.
I really want to get the chubby 3 but a little too much for my pocketbook wright now.
Now the Commodore has a bigger knot,which i want,. but i like the handle on the Colonel better.
Which do you think is a better brush to go with?
Please don't tell me to get both cause that will really mess me up.
 
The Commodore X3 has an awesome handle. But be advised that the knot is quite large despite Simpsons specs, and it REALLY fans out. And it can be a lather hog.

Never used a Colonel.
 
I have a GFT branded Colonel X2L 2-Band that is marked Best but looks like a Super (very white and soft tips). It is the stiffest of by Badgers and feels just about as soft as my SR3318 and Shavemac 44140 tip wise. It is wonderful with soaps as it has a stiff backbone and is great for face lathering. The knot is not very large. The handle is super nice and comfortable though.

Get both :001_tt2:.
 
The colonel is a great brush, its a little bit longer handle then commodore. So it's nice to bowl lather whit. I love mine. If you like a bigger knot go for the commodore, but the colonel is great. (get both)

I have the Commodore x3. I prefer this handle to the Colonel. I mainly face lather, sometimes bowl lather, and never use soaps. My x3 is a very good brush.
 
O K guys i pulled the trigger on a Commodore as i like bigger knots.
I will share photos and performance specs as soon as i get it and thank you for the helpful info.
