I currently have the Heterospilum and have had the Hartwegi. Are you planning to put them in the same tank? If you're planning to do that i hope u have a big tank because the Hartwegi is much more aggressive than the Heterospilum in my opinion. I like my Hetero. and the colors are awesome but they do seem less aggressive than some of my other Vieja. I currently have mine with my Bocourti and A. Altifrons and they will eat most any food. I think you should get some, not too many have these guys but on the other hand the Hartwegi are very beautiful too, just alittle more aggressive.
I agree, I've kept both before, and the Hartwegi is much more aggressive than a heterospilus.
I'd rate a Heterospilus having similar temperament as a Ufermani, both are pretty mild.
Hartwegi, I'd rate them similar to Bifasciatus. Both are aggressive and can be punishing to others living in a small tank.

I have not kept a hartwegi but I have a Heterospilum and I can say that is a gentle fish and does not show aggresion towards other tank mates, but can hold its own if it gets picked on. here is a pic of mine
