Help choosing between two suede Clark Buschacres

I've done some thorough research, and the best deals I can find on Buschacres (8.5) are:

Brown Suede for $64 Beige Suede for $70

I already have Grey Suede Buschacres and Beeswax Leather Originals. I'm just looking for another versatile boot to wear with chinos/jeans. I was considering the San Suede Buschacre but I'm hesitant because of the relatively poor reviews that color gets.

Anyway, which of the two above Buschacres would you choose?

IMO bushacres in beeswax, deserts in suede. deserts are fairweather boots and the crepe sole and suede upper are perfect for dry days. beeswax bushacres would be good in the rain with the leather upper sand rubber sole.

Isn't beeswax a color?

Beeswax is a "colorway". It is a regular leather in a mid brown color, as opposed to suede.

I really doubt they'd be good for the rain given the way the upper meets the sole. They are better, sure, but I wouldn't recommend them as a boot to wear in rain.

Do you have other boots in your wardrobe? Just curious since you already have 2 pairs of DBs/bushacres, you may want to vary your wardrobe up a bit. There are plenty of good suede boots/shoes out there for cheap. Here's an example of some options (obviously most aren't still on sale, but they're some good suggestions).

I agree, I wouldn't mind trying a different boot--but for the price you can't beat CDB/Buschacre. What do you think about the Bass Belmont Chukka?

If the contrast between the rubber and the suede doesn't bother you, I like it. Bass are normally decent quality for the price.
