Any preferences?
To me the former has a nice shiny silver look while the latter has an industrial look.
Also it appears that it's easier to gold plate the former. I am starting to like the idea of gold plating just the bottom plate, leaving the rest as is. A plated open comb really pops out when it's on its own.
I suppose the advantage of the latter is that there is no plating to crack off. But is that a real issue?
