C&J Chukkas on the 200 and 224 lasts

I'm basically just looking for a decent quality casual suede chukka to kick around in. I'm leaning towards the C&J Chukka (unlined) on the 200 last ($328 from Plal), but there's also the C&J Chiltern on the 224 last (also $328). The only pics I can find are the standard catalog pics. Bensilver has a few, though I'm not positive their version of the unlined chukka is on the 200. Does anyone have any other pics of these boots? Or any general advice towards them?

Thanks in advance.

I have the Chiltern...in fact, am wearing them today. I won't call them too sleek but they are very comfortable with a substantial feel to them (due to the Dainite sole).

Thanks. I'm thinking the Chiltern is mainly suited for casual wear whereas the unlined Chukka could be worn with slimmer odd trousers, etc.

ive also been looking at those same boots. i had tried to find out if the ben silver offerings were on the 200 last but so far, nobody seems to know here (it could just be the pic but the ben silver shoe seems a little sleeker than the 200).

i guess i could call ben silver but havent done that

That was my thought as well.
