I'd take the 2nd steer over the first. More bone, more balance , leveler across his top. But like vc says, 1 pic of each in green condition isn't doing them any favors
I'd go back to dream on, star power, 3c macho, 600u. Not sure they'll get you back to a 7 but it'll be a step in the right direction . Anything older will get you more frame but take away lots of middle imo
