Both are fine - if you like the TG73 then stay with it would be my free advise.

Speaking of a wholecut seamless derby, Lattanzi made such a pair. It was also wood-pegged and had a goyser stitching.

Look at the heel. There is no seam.
bengal-stripe may probably know about it and may give his opinion.

PS
Ask for grained or heavily textured exotic leather, that would make it even more difficult

Actually, this was a sample pair done up for Paul Stuart, which accounts for the differing sole design. I'm fortunate that my G&G sizing (8D) happens to be what they use for all their trunk shows and samples.
