Opinion Poll: Which grind line is better

Hey this is great, I knew I could count on you guys for help.
I am going to let this poll run until I get into the shop in a couple hours, when finishing the grinds on this will be the first order of business.
Current tally is:
Right side 11, left side 6.
 
It is quite the blade regardless, but I am going to semi-ignorantly favor the "pile side" as well.

Both have their own visual appeal, though in my opinion having a narrow flat extending closer to the tip looks better with the unique dimensions of this blade, and helps both the recurve and the false edge to sort of "pop". However I'm only considering aesthetics and nothing else. You do what you want, it'll still look nice with the higher grind too.

This. This is pretty much what I had in mind to say, but it sounds much more sophisticated and proper. Kudos on the blade either way.
 
Another(late) vote for the right side. Look forward to seeing finished pics.

Cool, thanks guys. I actually shirked work today, so tomorrow I'll be grinding the left side to match the right side.
And, going to HR Block to just take care of my damn taxes already... hey, if I get a good return I can finish paying for my milling machine and go get it!
 
Cool knife either way, but I'm partial to the longer right side. I liken it to a woman's legs. Both are good, but longer is better;)
