I'm the odd man out, but I like the flat look of the first image. Seems to accentuate the devices. With the high relief it would look cool in my opinion.
I am more of a proof fan, but I would pick this up were it not for the astronomical price.
A question: I wonder if palladium tones and, if so, how it would look?
