smiling cylinder or spot?

I am going to buy one of these (there is an online retailer selling off troll stock so it would be about $10 off) and am going back and forth between them. Which one do you think is more versatile?

For myself, I like the smiling cylinder, but I can totally imagine how easy spot would be to use!

Let us know what you decide...I think there's only 1 of each left!

I thought I read somewhere that someone was polishing spot and one of the "spots" caved in or broke off...I would go with smiling cylinder

I'm remembering the same about spot.
But I'd probably get both!

I'll addd my voice for the cylinder as well!

I am one who's had a section of the spot bead break off... very sad to say. I love smiling cylinder's design and shape! I would love to own more than one.

I have both beads. I have also a spot that was squashed in the mail so I would buy the cylinder bead. It is also better to use on a bracelet.

They are both beautiful but I'd get smiling cylinder. Great as a focal on a bracelet or a necklace and I imagine it looks cool on a FN as well.

Both
I have the smiling cylinder and i love him.

I'd go for smiling cylinder, i'm really happy with mine

I have a smiling cylinder and I know how it got its name, it makes me smile !

Definitely smiling cylinder.

My vote is for the smiling cylinder

I am definitely getting smiling cylinder. It was a great bead. Spot is nice, too, but I can get that one later.
