Geophagus sp. "Pindare" or winemilleri?

[Jakob]

Im going to add some geos to my 125, cant really decide which species to get, pindare or winemilleri. I need some opinions based on peoples experience with these.. Agressiveness, difficulties to breed and how they breed (mouthbrooders or not)... Growth, prices, and so on.

Pindare:
Not aggressive, but occasional conspecific chases
Max out at 5-6"
Easy-Intermediate to breed (if you have a good handle on your water parameters, you should have no issues)
Mouth brooders
Slow growers
Price depends on source (wilds can cost up to $25 for 2" fish while I have found CB ones for $5 each at 3")

Winemilleri:
Some conspecific aggression (really doesn't show too much unless they are feeling cramped and then it's usually just chasing)
Max out at 8-10"
Easy-Intermediate to breed (same as above)
Mouth brooders
Slow-medium growers
Price also depends on source (more expensive than pindare/found F1s for $11 each at 2" and wilds for $40 each for 2")
