    Here are pictures of the two versions of the Lunar 2 tartan. The one of the left is the one I have had woven, with solid color threads. The one on the right is Rocky Roeger's version, with marled yarn.

    To my eye your version looks more integrated.

    The problem with Rocky's IMHO is the discontinuity between the textured part and the stark clean red lines.

    The red lines would also have to have that texutred effect for the overall look to have internal consistency.

    It's definitely a matter of preference, and my preference is the same as yours.
