I have $170 credit at Bonobos and I was looking at getting a new pair of boots. Help me decide...

Beacon Boot - Brown, Oiled

 

or

 

Fairhaven Boot - Flint Grey

 

I do have a pair of brown leather boots, so I was leaning toward the Fairhaven boot, but I see that it has a cement construction and I heard that a cement construction was a poor choice. Might be a different story for a boot, though. If you guys could make another suggestion instead of these two I've chose, I'm open to hear it (They don't have the Carlton Boot or the Earthkeeper).

 

Thanks, guys!

I like the Beacons at least in the picture, would look great with jeans. Not sure how well constructed they are though.

For Bonobos, I feel like their shoes are lacking in general. I think Bonobos is best for their chinos (their fit is great from my experience, better than BB and not as tight as Incotex/Mabitex, and bags on sale (they carry Jack Spade).)

Both are Sebago shoes, so it's not really a "bonobos boot". I am only considering them because I have the credit. They mention the construction on the beacon boot being handsewn and the Fairhaven being cement construction.
