Help me choose a board

I am on the fence between these two boards. Wycliffe Brothers Tournament Backgammon Set Gen III (black) & Dal Negro Colorato - Green Cialux both can be seen on GV

Love the look of the DalNegro but am worried about the fact that it has no bearing-off storage area and the smaller size.....did I mention I love the look.

Like the size of the Wycliffe Brothers checkers and cube but not convinced on the quality of the board. and it is a lot bigger due to the bearing-off storage area.

The DalNegro is $20 cheaper but from the photos on G.V. looks to be of better quality... love the look of the Italian Bookcloth, no handle, & slim hight.

well I hope to order by tomorrow and thought I would see what you guys had to say before I flip a coin to choose. thanks in advance for any advice.
