Which birthing pool and why

Am trying to decide between La Bassine and Birth Pool in a Box.
Atm I think I prefer the latter one as there are more handles, a seat and you can get a cover for it to minimise heat loss but from browsing posts on here people seem to prefer the La Bassine. Would be interested to hear peoples' opinions/preferences.

I had a Birth Pool in a Box and it was great - arrived really quickly, good customer service on the phone. Can't remember whether I used the handles or not - would have to ask dh. I liked the fact that the BPIAB was my own private space. The La Bassine one seems to have transparent sides which put me off a bit since I'm pretty sure that feeling like you're being watched can slow labour down.

Birth pool in a box. I bought the one for taller people. It was excellent. We have used it twice and my DD loves it as a swimming pool in the summer! NCT get some money too!
