Between those two, I'd always go with the SoD. Chopweiler handles look good, but don't feel right to me. The way the top of the handle drops as it approaches the blade feels awkward to me, although I know that some people love them. I've picked up several from the table, but always put them back down and go with something else. My favorite Bussekin in this size is the FSH -- it fills my hand just right.
