Advice on which aro to get

Guys i need advice on what aro to buy since this will be my first time to buy aro that i have not seen, i am choosing from 2 differetn suppliers who seem to be reputable and will be shipping the aro to me via air cargo.

My dilemma is in which one to choose, i hope your opinions will help me decide

Supplier 1 (i think he is an importer)
1. Pang long rtg - 310 us dollars (more or less)
2. Pang long hbrtg - arnd 420 usd

Supplier 2 ( probably a dealer but has many positive feedbacks, and personally picks the aros he resells)
1. Qian hu rtg - arnd 420us dollars

Can you advise me on what direction i should choose, the pang long or the qian hu, i am tempted to get the hbrtg since its almost the same price as the rtg offered by supplier 2. But supplier 2 has a very good reputation for choosing his aros personally and has lots of positve feedbacks, supplier 1 meanwhile has a very good price because they probably import it directly from panglong, and i will be relying only on the reputation of panglong aros.

Or should i risk the 310 panlong rtg as value for money? Im looking for an aro with dark /deep colors but im not familiar with the farm's reputations.

Your opinions will be greatly appreciated!

What Country are you shipping it to?

By d way, both suppliers have certificates from pang long and qian hu.

They will just be shipping it from another city, not from another country, my location is in the philippines, it will just be a 1hr flight from the other city.

My honest opinion- I had purchased from PL before and was very satisfied. My Diablo Red was one of a kind. I also purchased a chilli from QH and was also pleased. However, the Aro's at Blue Crystal is worth checking out. Their aro's range from rtg's, GHXB, xb, reds ect ect. Not only the aro's are nice, but the owners are awesome and always welcoming (and patient as one looks for his perfect aro). With this said, Blue Crystal is your best choice.

Unfortunately i have no access to blue crystal aros.

So far i have narrowed it down to two local suppliers that have stocks that came from panglong and qh, given the price difference and my situation, in your opinion which one should i choose

It's not about which farm, is about the fish you want to buy is it worth the $? Shine level, defects and swimming posture. Use this as comparison.
