Both models are desirable... the 3:4 retangular is the earliest, but the double D just shouts "round CRT!", and provides a larger apparent picture size. I like having models with each style, as the comparison makes for an interesting story of early consumer tv development.
If faced with that choice, I would simply buy both, if condition/price is similar.

My preference is the later double D but both are very desirable and nice. I just bought a double D and if should be arriving soon. They can be a tad tricky restoring but not a horror show like the Predicta. Just cautious and use a line isolation transformer when working ad these are transformerless chassies! But like em' and they are nice performers when fully restored.
