Which bumper looks better?

For my 94 F-150, hopefully painted black soon. Its gonna be more of a daily driver/sport truck. I have a choice between the original bumper or one from a 97 F-250. The F-250 bumper is about 2 inches shorter in length. I had to do a bit of grinding to get it to fit. It almost flows with the body. I had it on with 2 bolts(not final location, just for test fit) with a jack stand for support. If I go with it, it will be mounted atleast 1/2" higher.

I really can't decide. I kind of like the square look of the older one and how it sticks out the corners for a little more protection. On the other hand, I like how the F-250 one makes the back flow and taper down. It looks smooth, but seems kind of close to the corners. So, basically, what is y'alls opinion?

I know, neither of them are clean. And the finish is messed-up on both of them. The original is rusting, and the new one is all scratched up. I'll probably paint it.

if you want the classic ford look, go with the old, it keeps that rigid body style and look, if you want a more sporty, newer look go new. I like the classic.
