Good deal at LFS on sohals and Achilles this week going to buy one for sure just can't decide which one I want.... What do you guys think?

8 ft 300g DT, current fish yellow tang, chevron and regal angel and a cpl cardinals. Chevron is the current boss.

The Achilles has always been my favorite fish, but man does a adult sohal with streamers pack a punch. I'd go with the Achilles if it were me but you really can't go wrong with either
 
Sohal are absolutely stunning. That would be my pick.

I Agree ! his Sohals are a good size too 4-6 inches. shoot I know I'm going to wind up buying both lol
 
Sohals are probably my all time favorite Tang, but I've heard they get nasty as they get big. That with the Regal would be my concern. Obviously the Achiles comes with the usual "they are tough to get through the beginning".
 
There is only one tang that I would consider getting. The achilles tang hands down. The near black body with the orange tailspot, absolutely stunning, nothing else like it. Meanwhile, the sohal looks like a lamarki angel(blah).
 
The sohal can be a down right nasty fish. I would go with the achilles. Just make sure it's eating, and QT it.
 
I would go with the Achilles also, although the sohal is a somewhat stronger fish in the long run. I would not get both, even 300 gallons would not be room enough.
