What a difference the choice of leather can make

What a difference the leather can make. Here are (2) Hancock and Moore MD92 Milan Sofas, identical except for the leather. One has a basic finished leather (Gunner Saddle, GR 1) and the other a hand-burnished, pure aniline hide (Hyde Park Mocha Burnished, GR 4).
The cost difference in leathers is $ 2,100 or so, depending on the dealer.

Which would you select for a sofa that will last 20 years or more?
