My preference would be the Austral III as long as clearances can be met. It's a larger, firebox that will load N/S and E/W with full-sized splits. Overall it is a better designed and made stove. Note that this model has no side shielding panels so it is quite radiant and has a higher clearance requirement than its siblings, the Legend and Myriad models. That's a good price on the stove. It went up this year and typically sells for around $1400.
That's nice! Make sure it is still in stock or that you can get a raincheck for the sale price.

Great price if you can get it. looks to be OOS.
I like the 21" firebox depth compared to my Peasant Hearth 2200 which is listed @17"but a real world 14" log cap. N.to S.
