That was my original impression, the second one looks too..soft, and glossy if that makes sense ?
 
ye, not sure on the layout but looks like a lot of stitches too - a bit OTT
 
I bought the second one on ebay and to be honest the handbrake one looks a bit naff but the gearstick one looks pretty nice you have to dismantle the old gearstick to unatach the old gaitor and you have to staple the new one on but it looks nice when done check my readers ride theres a pic on there
