Thanks, guys! Much appreciated. I want the Vader figure that looks best in his classic holding-the-belt-boxes pose, and both versions seem equally capable in that regard.

Thanks to Joe for alerting me about the Velcro bits. Looking at a couple of video reviews, I see the Velcro bits are not complimentary at all. Scratch HT.

MegaPrime33's previous comment resonates: Vader is so iconic that there probably will be more versions to come, but I want one sooner rather than later, so will most likely pull the trigger for SSC. The head sculpt seems better, more like the definitive version (IMO) from New Hope.

Anyway, thanks again for your thoughts. Rgds
