Can't decide...

on which to buy but the 1st choice is out as you would be buying a toubillon from the house of Breguet, the house of tourbillons of which this would not be its best representative. Its a tossup between the Lange DS and the UN Sonata Silicium. Having seen both in the metal and despite having spent considerable time with #2 and being a big fan of the brand, I would go for the UN in this case.

Why? Reasons NOT in order of importance.

1. It is a LE meaning once gone from primary sources, only chance to get would be from secondary channels. Something that is not too appealing given the sum being spent
2. Its a handsome watch offering a complication above its other peers by coming with a cathedral gong sound in lieu of the usual shrill sounds of alarm watches
3. Its a perfect travel watch with the GMT function
4. Its weight makes it a suitable and convenient for whole day use or as sole travel watch for that matter

I guess you can say that reasons #3 and 4 show the versatility of this watch which tilts it over the Lange DS. Hope this helps.
