    Tartan flashes: bias or straight?

    I'm planning to make matching flashes for my in-progress Murray of Tullibardine kilt, and I'd like the opinion of the rabble (well, those of you who don't actively dislike tartan flashes, at least ) as to which looks better:

    Pardon my primitive screencap stitching. I'm sure I don't have to remind everyone that only the bottom portion will be visible. But I suppose I should mention that the kilt will be RevK pleated to sett, so the straight pair would mimic the center rear where the pleats come together. And I will of course be more careful about the alignment when actually making them; I just use that template to get a general idea of how they'll look.

    The thing is, I genuinely can't decide which I like more. I know the bias-cut will be a little more difficult, but I don't wanna go with the straight flashes simply out of laziness. So maybe it'll help me decide if a majority of you like one more than the other.
