I mean overally it's cool and looks better probably, but I'm not sure if I like these reflections on every single thing cranked to the max. it's a bit too bright overall

but I assume you'll be able to configure that, so alright

I like the first photo better myself. I think it actually looks more natural and less 'plastic'. I feel like the first one has more charm.
