I would buy either one of them.
They both look good to me.

Hard for me to tell by the vids. Would be easier of course if the cars were viewed up close and in person. I see OP in both. I don't see that much of a difference in the two from this video. Watch him say they are both from the old paint shop or both are from the new paint shop. 
If GM spent big bucks for the little improvement that may be in this video, wow, I don't know. I haven't seen that many C7's with really bad OP.

It the first to try and show paint quality on a video. Don’t think you can see it unless in person

I’m going with “left” is the new one. There’s another clue in the video: the car on the right has a VA inspection sticker whereas the one on the left does not. I’ll assume that the one that’s been there the longest is more likely to have been inspected.

) and knows his Corvette's, not your typical car salesman. His Vlogs are entertaining and informative.

Either one still needs "paint correction" before quartz coating to get the finish so it looks like you are looking in a mirror. Both have "some" distortion (wavy reflections) which has to be corrected before coating, otherwise one is wasting his money if they desire perfection. The highs/lows in paint have to be eliminated as much as possible so there is little to no distortion. PS: I just had mine done professionally by Car Pro dealer using CQuartz Professional, so yeah, experience.
