I dunno what to do. I can't decide between mark 46 and 47.
If you guys had to choose, which one would you pick up?

Hi , I have the MK 46 and when I first saw the MK 47 I thought easy pass , but then I saw it in person and I loved the colour and the open Helmet,Head sculpt (one of the things that make the MK 2 Armour unleashed so amazing) . So now I am also thinking I might want to get this set .
When comparing the MK 46/47 this is how I think about it and compare them and these are my opinions and reasons .
Paint
The MK 46 is the traditional colour , has battle damage and looks really cool , MK 47 has a unique colour , the silver is really nice and battle damage.
Winner : MK 46
Stand
The MK 46 stand looks more interesting than the MK 47 , but it can be tricky to get a good pose on the MK 46 stand.The MK 47 stand is very boaring and in my opinion did not work to well with War machine MK3 so I am sure it would be the same with the MK 47.
Winner : MK 46
Head sculpt and options
This is a easy one , the MK 46 and MK 47 have what looks to be the same sculpt but the MK 47 is a clean sculpt no damage to Tonys face, I like this more and if you consider the open helmet the MK 47 wins cause you have more options , Helmet face with face plate, Helmet face with out face plate and head sculpt .
Winner : MK 47
Accessories
So there are a lot of similar accessories so I will just cover the differences , the MK 46 comes with an iron girder , this can me though of as part of the base or a separate accessory ether way to me its mostly useless and don't remember it in the film at all. The MK 46 also comes with the Captain america mask , this is a nice part and you can use it in some cool posses, but you might already have this if you bought the AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON CAPTAIN AMERICA so its not unique. Now looking at the MK 47 you get some unique parts , the little rocket/ thruster thing is really nice and you can make some nice action poses with it( you could even make a diorama with the ship or part of the ship . The MK 47 also comes with glasses for tony stark and they might not seem so cool but some people that kit bash Tony stark figures will love this , you see him wearing glasses in a few movies so its a cool idea . MK 46 did come with a battle damaged chest plate and MK 47 does not but then he did not fight in the move so this is fine for me I would never want to display the MK 47 damaged , if you did want to you could just use the MK 46 part or buy the MK 47 part some place and do it your self
Winner : MK 47
Your Display
So one thing people often don't think about is your display some times some having one figure can really make your display , an example of this would be if you had a display with all your iron man figures having the mk 42,46 on the left side and then the 43,47 on the right might look amazing as it would create a frame for your display with all the other figures in between. This is just an example but I have seen a few collectors do stuff like this and it looks really cool .
The point is when you are stuck trying to decide where to spend you money and what figure is the best try consider all aspects and most importantly what you want and how you feel its your money and your display and you need to be happy with it ( side note I will me spending decent amount of money making 2 diorama's for my display cause i need supply and tools my friends think I am crazzy as i could spend the money on another figure, but I alwasy wanted a Hot toys Iron man diorama).
Conclusion
Do what makes you happy
So those are my thoughts as you can see its 50/50 its mostly about what you like . I just hope I have given you some points to consider.
