Roo #1 is a winner. Yellow feet are better than pink, dark eyes are better than copper, straight tail carriage is far more desirable in Sumatras, with the chests carried high (#2 looks slouchy)... #2 has better green sheen, but that's about it.
In my experience, though, for some reason the ones that look like Roo #2 often have more spurs... it depends what you're breeding for, but I'd go with #1 for most projects, especially showing.

They're both cute, though.
