You will get bragging rights with both brushes as they are like supersport cars.
Nevertheless for a facelathering most prefer a smaller knot size and for bowl lathering you might need a longer handle.

If it should be a Simpsons - and they are excellent - have a look at the Duke 3 versions for a more balanced approach to knot size/handle length.

I would go with the Manchurian, have two and love them - however, mine are a M6 and T3, do not care for the short unfomfy Chubby handles.

I think I would enjoy the super better but the manchurians are discounted so that's what I'd buy, personally.

Since you asked, the Chubby 3 is simply too big for my taste! I face lather and much prefer smaller/mid-sized brushes. My current Simpsons include: Chubby 1, Duke 2, Classic 2, 57, Tulip 2 and Tulip 3.

Now in terms of hair, I would also go for the Manchurian as that is less available.
