I think the Delhezi look better if you get a quality one.
The 1st pic is my wifes new juvi, it was a cheap CB del, but just by luck turns out like it could be a stunner!
The adult Delhezi is a Premium "Dory-K" breed, you will pay a lot of money for one of those IF you can find one. (I payed crazy money for mine)
The Juvi Endlicheri I pictured is also "Dory-K", the marking is nice, as is the coloration, but what makes it expensive is the markings on the underside.
The Adult Endlicheri is a WC and looks pretty average color/patternwise.
So there is much to consider when deciding what looks nicer.
Pay good money, you will get good looking fish at the end of the day.
That all said, I like monster sized fish, and I prefer lower jawed Bichirs.

I just got two dels in January after a 10 year search. They are definately one of my favourite bichirs. They look like aquatic stegosarusesesessses.
I especially like the fact that they almost have a neck.
