Which is better? Substantial burn that matches game, or moderate burn that doesnt?

Was about to cap the monitor in the Qbert I'm working on. I knew it had some burn, but when I removed the bezel and smoked plexi, I learned it had some pretty substantial burn. However it does match the game, and the pyramid in Qbert is always there in gameplay, so its not terribly noticeable.

However I have another monitor I could swap it that has much less burn, but from some other game. In particular it has "Credits 0" at the bottom. But I feel it would probably be brighter overall once capped and installed.

What do you guys think is the better option?
 
It doesn't matter what it looks like without the bezel and smoked plexi, because you'll never see it without those. I would say that the substantial burn is better because it matches the game. My Ms. Pac monitor has awful burn but since it matches, I can't see it at all through the plexi and bezel
 
Whichever one has the nicest looking picture.

Both need capped, so its hard to say. Qbert is passable at the moment. The other one looked pretty decent before I pulled out of a cab I'm giving away.

The Qbert burn you can see even with the smoked plexi, the other one you probably couldn't see.
