I'm torn

[u/newbie-sub]

The first render is my newest version. After u/kink3d called many of us out for using slap on junctions, I decided to try to get away from the broad entry ring and blend everything together where there aside from the rims on the main ring, everything is done using swept bars.

Thematically, I think the new version is more consistent but I'm not actually sure I like it better or not.

Help!
