Nixie-based tube clocks

Please Help!

NixieKits.eu is working on an updated Manuela design and this new clock will allow the user to select from a variety of top-view tubes.  Jürgen has been working hard on the design and he has a question for the community.  One of the options is a set of six SIEMENS red coated nixie tubes.  Alternatively, Jürgen can coat much cheaper IN-12 tubes and achieve a similar look.  Which option do you prefer:

SIEMENS tube pictured

Option 1 - a SIEMENS factory-coated red tube with a correct #5 for 50 EUR

Option 2 - a NixieKits.eu red coated IN-15 for 15 EUR with an inverted #5

Jürgen just sent me a bunch of photos for a new design that he is working on and this one is really cool.  It is similar to his Manuela IN-12 clock but this one takes it to a whole new level.  For starters, the enclosure is 100% custom designed from front to back.  It is a layered design that enables him to make an enclosure the is quire a bit smaller than the Manuela clock.
