Ulysse Nardin Freak Cruiser or Diavolo Phantom?

Let's see some pictures of these 2 versions in the same thread...
Two very different versions.
If the Freak Diavolo has something from the original Freak, the Cruiser is a totally different Watch, size, shape of the case / lugs, bezel, dial, hands...
The Diavolo is a big Watch, the Cruiser is even bigger. Though, the difference when you read the size of each of these versions, is far from being enormous ( 0, 5 mm, 45 mm for the Cruiser / 44, 5 mm for the Diavolo ), but in the real, the Cruiser is more bulky.
I had the possibility to take pictures of these 2 versions, in the same metal, in rose gold.
Cruiser:
Diavolo Phantom:
I long thought about that, but the first offcial pictures of the Cruiser let a curious taste in my mouth... The in the real experience didn't make me change my mind.
I much prefer the case, dial, ans bezel of the Diavolo. I find they have more character than the Cruiser.
Of course, this is a matter of taste, and it is tough to compare a normal Freak to a Freak Diavolo which is horologically more sophisticated. And we don't have to forget that difference.
One thing I love a lot on the Cruiser is the hands. They are somptuous. Really somptuous, with this marine Anchor shape.
What is your opinion, on those versions?
Best,
Nicolas.
