Leon, I would go with the Almeida. He is pictured on far fewer items than Marsans. Also, while Marsans might have the better name recognition (to us in the US at least)I personally feel Almeida was a more colorful character. If you get a chance to read up on Almeida, he was a pretty interesting (and demanding) fellow.
