The other dog is drop dead gorgeous, and a decent mover. Which one do you choose? As Forrest Gump always says "Pretty is as pretty does!" IF the dog LOOKS LIKE THE STANDARD then he IS my winner - especially with forehand. However, type, the things that make a GSD a GSD, should never be sacrificed for sidegait!
