I only see two Primatos in your pics. Pics of the third or it didn't happen.

Seriously though, you are one lucky dude to have so many Primatos.

It's funny but an older Neo Primato popped up. It has Genius tubing, webbed BB, and the diamanté CS like you've described. F/F for $1270. Looks practically new.

Then a Professional with EL OS tubing. Has a webbed BB but no diamanté CS. Also in immaculate condition. I can get the F/F/HS for $1000.

The other I'm considering is a white mica Primato F/F/HS owned by a well known poster and De Rosa fanatic on the other forums.

Between the 3, which should I choose? I'm leaning toward the Neo Primato Genius tubing.
Assuming that they're all the same size, the white Primato. He's a great seller, it has all of the stuff you want it to have and there's just something about a white De Rosa. I'd pick the el OS professional second.

I'd wager few of us could tell the difference riding them, but EL OS has more snob appeal and was a little higher on the food chain.

I wish De Rosa made a MAX model.
