Looking for a 210 mm R2/SG2 Gyuto

[TexasRed]

Getting ready to pull the trigger on my first nice knife and these two have caught my eye. Are there any that I may be missing in the $300 range? Will be used for mostly vegetable work and some light trimming. I know appearance is subjective but want a real looker.

I prefer a middleweight knife myself.
Yamamoto just resonates well with me. The vortex pattern doesn't photograph well and is much more prominent in person. I've been told he has discontinued it for labor reasons.
