For sure better

This movement is incredible with its finishing and escapement, and LF in general small and boutique. I just think the dial similar to the patrimony (formerly patrimony contemporaine)

Definitely a superb iteration from LF

And this micro rotor is my absolute favorite from all micro rotor movements on the market as you know (even if all their movements Double Spiral Tourbillon, and the latest manual winding one are also top notch)

I have a lot of love for their latest manual winding movement, indeed.
