In touch with both shop owners, should have a decision very shortly and will be sure to update. I'm indecisive as all heck.
As I mentioned above, toe overlap is an issue to me. You are looking at much smaller frames than me, thus toe overlap could be worse on those small frames.

Some people are bothered by toe overlap more than others. Not sure where you are on that topic, but it is a topic that I think you do not want to forget about.
