Default Ultima air 12" chrome vs 812 12.5" flame

Having consulted you before on the air vs spring question I have come to a 2 final options.
Please note I am a chrome addict....so all black oem cannot be used.

So we have ultima air 12" vs 812 progressive standard duty 12.5" (412 with flames cover).

What do you think? ......a challenge between 12" air vs 12.5" spring

I like progressives, and have used them many times. Have you also considered full cover 412s? A very nice looking, fully chromed shock. Being a chrome ***** myself, that might be an option (for me as well). Plus, I like using site sponsors whenever possible.
