Which buff orpington rooster looks better?

[Jabs]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to buy a new buff orpington rooster to introduce to my flock. So, I need assistance in choosing a good looking rooster. The photos of the roosters I'm referring to are attached. Could the experts here help me choose? The lady I'll be buying from claims that they are from show quality stock. Thanks!

The one in the centre of the first picture looks good; nice size and carriage and an even buff colouration. The second has some black in the tail, which would make me question his use as this can pass to his offspring.
