The Rita looks nice and I am sure is comfortable, but it is more formal. I have a H&M tufted chesterfield and it is nice to sit on, but not as comfortable for lounging as my September sofa. If I only had one couch and I wanted something to relax on after a long day, I would want something with cushions, not a tufted back. Just my preference and I guess it depends on what you are looking for and your planned use.
