In my view this answers your question, and is a great statement as to why a true collector collects-personal enjoyment. So I would think given your budgetary constraints it would be a no brainer to go for the one that has the best eye appeal. And for your bonus enjoyment, take satisfaction in knowing you will end up with a nice looking card for a fraction of the price of what a comparable looking "non-altered" card would have cost, which BTW IMO more likely than not received the grade it did only after having been "worked on".
