Takeda NAS 180mm vs Watanabe Kurouchi 180mm Nakiri

I am currently looking for a Nakiri and I've boiled it down to these two. Does anyone have any experience with these that could shed some light? i want something with great release.

The Watanabe would probably be considerably heavier, which I think might be a pro in this context. I love my Takeda bunka though, which is basically a nakiri with a tip.

Decided to go with a CCK 1303 since it just restocked lol. Figure I saved myself some cash for something else.

Cleavers are nice, but you should have gotten the Watanabe.

I'd also highly recommend the Kochi 180 carbon nakiri. God I love that knife.
