5230P vs 5236P

Which watch would you get at retail from an AD.

I know they are very different watches, but I like them both.

I have seen the 5230P in person and I liked it a lot. However, people said I should go for the more complicated and newer 5330, which is not available to me.

For the 5236P, I don't have a perpetual in my collection yet. I always prefer more legible watches, so this is probably the perpetual that work best for me. However, I was also told the 5236 has a less polished movement? While I personally like simple elegance, the 5236 dial does look a bit too simple for a watch priced this high.
I haven't seen the new salmon dial yet, but I was told it's a lot more dull then then blue because it does not have the brush effect on it. But I also have many blue watches but zero salmon dial. Which brings the 5935A in to the discussion. People say the thickness compare to the 5230 makes it less elegant.

Pricing and timing is also a concern. Obviously the 5230 is discontinued, so it's now or never(from an AD) I like it, but I don't love it. For the perpetual, the longer I wait, the more expensive it will get (excluding opportunity cost). There is also a possibility of a G version in the future...

Would love to learn more of what people here thinks.
