Douglas Weathered. My other tartan kilts are, Douglas Modern, Douglas Ancient, and Douglas Grey Ancient.
If I didn't have to purchase a pants wardrobe for teaching I would be getting both. I am purchasing a tweed braemer and vest to pull double duty. Just have to decide which one to get first. Both have an equal meaning for me.

Thank you Rob.
If you already have a weathered tartan kilt (the muted colors are so wonderful for day wear) then the Dark Douglas is dramtic and would work very well for formal / evening wear
Cheers

Although I do like both, I like the Murray of Atholl more. My reason, I just simply find it more pleasing to my eye and has mentioned, it is simply a beautiful tartan. Also with the connection you have to it, the sense of pride you would have every time you wear it. The history behind it. You will find it will go with a good lot as well. I say Murray of Atholl, a splendid choice.

While I'm quite partial to the Murray -- and would certainly choose it for myself -- I think Jamie makes a very good point, so I vote for the Dark Douglas.
To my mind the Dark Douglas is dark, too dark. It might just be the swatch and my computer but I can't see enough contrast. Will the pattern be discernible from any distance or will it look like just one colour. If the pattern is not discernible, then what's the point - why not just get a single colour kilt?
