Help Me Choose

I am getting some fish and can't decide what to buy. I have
never owned either and always wanted them both but can only
choose one. here are the choices
1) a wild caught Aulonocara sp."Usisya Type Tanzania" flavescent
2) Aulonocara kandeense "Blue Orchid"
I have always wanted a flavescent and this one is wild caught.
I know people think wild caught fish are the best way to go but
I have owned a couple and it was a pain to get them to eat
processed food. They also never really seemed to adjust to tank
life and had a shorter life span. call me a blasphemer but I
think I almost prefer tank raised fish.
After watching John's shipment videos with blue orchids I fell
in love they are beautiful fish. My only problem is I already
have a Copadichromis trewavasae "Mloto Likoma" in the tank and I
am afraid that it will look too similar with the blue orchid.
This is a hard one for me which would you choose?

if your only problem is the mloto being similar looking to the
blue orchid, I would still get both. How many people here have
flavescents and blue neons in the same tank? pretty similar
looking fish but they both still look great. If i had to choose
one i would go with the flavescent though.
