Something I can see asking about is does the item have a history of damage or defects? Is the seller reputable or not?
To me the first statue looks like the arms are broken but I'm sure some like that twisted evil look......

I guess it depends on what the original poster is seeking. If it's pure aesthetics, then I agree someone should just buy what they like. If they're asking does either have any known issues (leaning, defects, etc...) then that could sway the choice.
I own the original. I haven't had any real issues with it. It is mixed media, which I know some hate. So if that's turn off, then go with the newer version. Also, as already mentioned, the original does have a rather tall scythe, which may limit display options. So check your dimensions on where you'd like to put it. Beyond that, I'd just choose which you'd prefer.
