I Like Both koi, but the Showa is the one. Hard to find much wrong with it. No Tail stop (odome) is all I can come up with from the picture, while the positives are numerous. The sashi is actually good at this stage, while the Kohaku does not seem to have much. Based on beni alone, the kohaku will be show ready years b4 the Showa. Probably the only time to show it is this next year. I like it's Shiro and Beni, but it is of the harder type? Pattern wish is for it to come down more between the eyes.
Hope that helped.
