I'll take the one on the right, you the left....and let's play a set. Winner keeps the cue. 
I want to say about the cue on the right. Its not a Szamboti. It was made in the mid 70's and IMHO it was fashioned to be a Szamboti. I met the maker in the early 2000's, he had switched to more CNC style cues. They, IMHO were cookie cutter CNC and we sold a few because Mark K and him were friends, but to me the cues were blahhhh. Anyways I believe had he stayed with the traditional designs, he would have a totally different level of appreciation by the cue buying public. He was rumored, (worse kept secret in cuemaking) to have assisted some Maryland cuemakers for a few years.
I spoke with him a few months back on the cue and he had some great stories, about cues, Balabushka, cuemaking, etc.. He has been making cues since the late 60's.
This cue is a mid 70's McDaniels, the screw is a dead giveaway as is the butt cap material. But this cue really plays great. Steve Klein did the restoration and shafts.

Well one is, the other could be but it would take a lot of money, a week with Lucy Collett and other stuff.
