Honjo vs Velo-Orange Hammered Fenders?

[Velocivixen]

So I've got my robin's egg blue brand new Surly Cross Check and I want to "dress" it quite differently than my Trek, which has SKS P-45 fenders (silver w/black racing stripes). I've done my research regarding the two aluminum fenders that I'm considering, know the price difference, know that Honjo's are hand hammered and has slightly better designed stabilizing "arms" or whatever they're called.

So...does anyone here actually have them on their bikes? Thoughts?

Thanks

I'll try again to upload a photo:

I'm drooling over the Honjos! They are so gorgeous.

@Mayo, I know. There's a shop nearby that sells both the fenders I ask about. I was hoping someone on here who either has or had them would chime in. Oh well...

I did a search for Honjo on Roadbikereview's forums, and a number of threads about fenders came up. You might go there and use the search function to see if you might find some useful information. I see see a post from a local shop owner in my neck in the woods who has Honjos on his bike. He gives them a big thumbs up.
