top one. I like warmer colors, too.

My tastes run more on the cooler side for colors, and while I wouldn't call either of the options hideous, I would like to see something a little darker than the grey/navy/olive/maroon. Just my opinion,...which with a dollar will buy you a cup of coffee.

They're both a bit busy for my taste, but I think they could work. I voted for the top because it has a warmer feel.

NOW what? Hahaha
...good question. 
...well, it seems that I may have confused you, and you may have confused me... and I know that I've confused myself. At the very worst, I guess that makes us even-steven... save the part where I confused myself.
I can live with that, though. Hehehe 
But in all seriousness, I think both look good and it might just come down to where/when you think you might be wearing the suit (or kilt and waistcoat, I should say) most, perhaps. Dark for winter, light for summer?
...or, which would go better with your favorite kilts. That way, you can mix and match them with the waistcoat. Now there's an idea...

I'm not a big fan of mixing patterned tweeds with tartans, so it will probably just be worn as a complete outfit most times. Also, I need no excuse to wear it... I'll wear it whatever the season, whatever the occasion.

Drat! Another strike out! This really isn't my night! 
...for what it's worth, I don't like mixing patterns much, either.
The bottom tweed, though- As a random aside, Lamar Adron Britt bought a waistcoat and jacket in that, and it looks smashing with his Ferguson Britt tartan. I was shocked at how well it went, in fact.
But yes- I've got nothing, good sir. I'll retire back to my paper now, and leave you fine gentlemen to discover the answer. Good evening!

I agree with Noah... I prefer the top one because of the colors. It has more "pop" than the lower one (different from the loud Macleod which, IMHO, has "BANG!" ) And the red lines make bigger squares which to my eye makes it look less "busy."

I like the top one more---not sure why, I just do.

I think they both look quite nice, but if I have to choose just one, I would say the top. No particular reason.
