Default 69 Monza Red or '02 Torch Red?

Just getting opinions. I don't think I've seen these colors side by side but the look similar. Which is more orangy?

For the record, Mazda Classic Red as on the Miatas is one hell of a great fire engine red but I'd like to stay with an 'original' corvette color.

See the sig for Monza red. I believe it is a bit more orange than the torch red.

They both seem to have a lot of Orange in them to me, even the mille miglia that I have now has quite a bit of orange in it. I also like the Mazda red on the verts.
