The Man, The Boy, and His Donkey
I personally like the second version too, but you know what? If it's slower, I'll still be incredibly happy and impressed with the outcome. I care very little which is the final version.
I am appreciative of those that point out little errors here and there, but there comes a point where there are just so many nitpicks and complaints and diverse opinions over minutiae that I tire of it. Adywan, do it the way you like it, and don't worry about majority vote or slight imperfections. Long after you've released your version, the Ronsters of the world will still find editing errors and inconsistencies that no one had ever noticed or cared about before, and surely someone will then think that it's essential to have it fixed and they will never survive another viewing of the film without being driven up the wall for that little problem. It will never be perfect. Just accept what is good enough and what you love, and I know we will all love it as well. Thanks for all you do.
PS No offense to Ronster, whom I like very much. I'm just teasing.
