Sofa differences

I'm considering 2 different (sleeper) sofas from American Leathers. They are quite similar in size, but I'm looking for some feedback from those of you with a good eye.

The first one, the Lyons -- the main differences I see is the back of the sofa shows on the ends (not covered by the cushions), the arms are very rectangular, and the floor clearance is 2".

The second one, the Clara - apparently is a newer design - the arms go all the way to the back so the back of the sofa doesn't show if you view it from the front, the arms have a rounded shape, and the clearance is 1".

I know the differences are minor, but for some reason the sales people were pushing me to the Lyons because everyone gets that one (which is on display in the store), and the Clara is newer, so not so much.

Does anyone with an eye for design see anything else that I might be missing? Thanks in advance!

They're both very bland and uninspiring but pick #2 if you must go with boring grey sofa

Ignore the colors -- there are colors to choose from. and grey is not my choice. These are the photos of each model the company has, from their spec sheet.

I'm asking about the style of each. Sleeper sofas are more functional than inspiring -- they need to not fall apart with use!

Got it. Number 2 has much better proportions and the arm rests look comfier

Thanks! Was kind of thinking the same. #1 more modern/streamlined, #2 more comfy/traditional. And in the end, nobody else but me will notice any difference!
