Clark S., List,

If I were to do such a thing,

and searching my dBase of about 15 + uprights with these two names (none of
which had a noticeable mention of praise),

and since you said, "...if either one..."

and since I have not inspected these two pianos you referenced firsthand,

I cast an internet vote of neither and would wait for one that would serve
such the purpose of, "... what a fine upright should be...".
