MB Arts Strut Tower Brace -- 2 Styles

I am working on the suspension of the car and I have started to look into a strut bar. I have heard MB Arts is the way to go but they seem to be offering two different versions.

Anyone know which one is better?

Here are the links-

It looks like the mounting points are different. I have seen the top one on some cars on the forum but have not seen the bottom one.

Thanks

That is what I was thinking. The 3 holes to mount it look more secure.

Now I need to pick a color. I have a Mars Red C300 and was thinking I would go with silver. I would get red I don't want it to clash.
