Picking a Grail - Logical1 VS MB&F

I've been trying to decide between the perpetual MB&F, Logical from Gauthier or the Micro Insight, and finally got to check them out in-person a few weeks ago in LA at Rostovky. Dealt with Chad there who was great.

When compared to the MB&F and the Logical1, I think the Micro-Insight was a little bland/boring. Was surprised as it was very close for me prior to seeing them in-person. My big concern was the size of the Logical 1 + MB&F, but both were completely fine.

The MB&F also looked way, way better in-person than I had expected, and probably leaning into that... The movement is just bananas in-person. Only issue is perpetuals are kind of generally scary lol. I like the simplicity of time only!

Had the chance to see a few Gruebels as well. Definitely too big for me personally, and the aesthetic doesn't quite appeal the same way as an MB&F or Gauthier does to me. Very very well made though, and the convex (?) crystal is ridiculously cool.
