USS Hornet, question

I have been lusting after the new 1:200 Hornet models.
GPM has two kits which seem the be from different sources but look a lot alike.
Does anyone have intel about the two and recommendations about which one to select?
cheers Jim

Please visit link (Pl)
WWW.KONRADUS.COM - FORUM MODELARZY KARTONOWYCH - Odp: CV8 Hornet (Szkutnik) [Recenzja]
It is dscription of Hornet from new designer ,,Szkutnik'' (photos).
The second one is from GPM.

Both models are developed at a high level and are comparable. The main difference between these models is such that in the Szkutnik model frame and deck are printed on self-adhesive paper, while in GPM traditional on the cardboard.
The differences are in design of the sides of the ship, more interesting solution proposed GPM.
Also the division of metal sheets on the SIDES is more visible in the GPM model than in the other.

In my opinion the GPM side plating is too pronounced, Never seen the hull plating in any photos from the period that would make the GPM printing a better option.

Thanks all for the replies. This discussion is getting interesting.
Jorzik is there a language translator on the link you provided, not too useful without it.
One hopes that it is not required to read the language in order to find the translator.
cheers Jim
