FP Journe - Gold vs Platinum Resonance RN - which one?

Currently picking one of two potential FPJ Resonance RNs (comparison images below on my wrist!)

Realise i've discussed this in the FPJ thread but I thought id pull this out as a separate thread as I want to use the poll feature!

Gold (2005)
Positives
+ A resonance is the best calibre of watch one can buy - and having it in a gold with the yellow/pink dial makes it more distinctive and stands out
+ Pink/yellow dial more reminiscent of the OG resonances - i.e. has more of the Journe DNA

Negatives
- Gold potentially too ostentatious and therefore harder to wear
- No card, but has letter of authenticity (not sure if this one matters tht much)
- More expensive than the Platinum by 10%

Platinum (2008)
Positives
+ More subtle and therefore easier to wear
+ Has original warranty card, cheaper than Gold by 10%

Negatives
- Not as special, doesnt stand out as much, less of the Journe DNA

For context - the rest of my collection has no gold pieces, mostly steel sport pieces (nautiluses, aquanauts etc)
