Oberwerth straps: Colorado vs Mosel

As the title indicates, I’m looking for experiences with these straps (M camera). 
 

I currently use one of the parachord ones at 130cm. I like it except that it get twisted sometimes around the attachment rings. So I figured, maybe it’s time to give a traditional leather strap a go. I’m impressed with the quality of the Oberwerth half case I bought, so these looked interesting. 
What I like about the Colorado (aside from the more reasonable price) is that comes in the exact length that I have now. And it looks good in the photos. Benefit of the Mosel may be softer leather ? (Not sure, just going by the photos, but it also comes in several different versions). And it’s either shorter or quite a bit longer than 130cm. The black with the red stitching looks nice. Not sure if the padded shoulder attachment is good or gets in the way more.

Always get the strap that looks good in the photos.

By the title, I thought there might me a state legal case against Oberwerth.

You are making light of one of life’s important decisions. But it comes down to how many camera straps do you need to buy before finding ‘the one’, and nobody can answer that, given as soon as you buy it next week you will see another that’s better. The one that comes in the box is the most embedded in feng shui and imbued with the ch’i that Leica intended.

finally someone who appreciates the utmost significance here. So what I’m hearing is: buy both.
