17 + 55 White Street dueling open houses at $3.75mm

There are open houses at two lovely Manhattan lofts on White Street, separated by both Church Street and 6th Avenue, both offered at the same $3.75mm. Compare and contrast, then report back, please!

i hit 6A at 17 White Street when it was new to the market in December (new at 17 White / mezzanine + proper names in a Tribeca enclave), asking $3.75mm and $1,100/mo(!) for "2,533 sq ft" with 17 foot tin ceilings "stunning" architectural features and a host of proper proper names.
Open House Sunday February 17 from 12 to 1:30 PM

I touched on 55 White Street #2B in an open house review on December 6; it is still "2,300 sq ft" of a "recent architect total renovation" with 14 foot ceilings and windows that are 11 x 6 feet, but the price has come down from $3.85mm to $3.75mm, and $2,123/mo (condo).

To me, they have very different looks — despite both having high ceilings and high finishes. 17 White is for lovers of exposed brick; 55 White is more sophisticated (in the I-know-it-when-I-see-it sense of sophistication). The 17 White space seems to me to be about volume; 55 White seems to have more flow.

Has anyone seen both of them?

[UPDATE 12.14.08: 17 White St #6A closed with a deed filed June 24 at $3.16mm; 55 White St #2B cleared at $3.49mm with a deed filed on July 8. After being at the same price point in February, The Market treated them pretty differently, paying more for the sophistication of 55 White St than the volume at 17 White; but both are pretty healthy prices for the amount of space the commenter Stephen Reese thinks is present]
