5070R vs 5960R
I am considering adding one of these beauties to my collection.
Was wondering whether anyone has both and offer thoughts comparing the two.
Thanks in advance.

5070R vs 5960R

you could consider this RD
Round, Lemania, super-finish for 30% of the 5070 price. I also own a 5070G and they are equally beautiful....
