Which sweater to keep - if any?

I was at Reitmans today and spotted these sweaters with lurex. They are the right trouser length for me (rare thing!) and I like the subtle sparkle. The problem was I could not decide in the store which color to buy - so I bought all three.
One is charcoal grey with silver lurex diagonal stripes, the second is wine colored with burgundy lurex diagonal stripes and the third is black with a lurex thread all over.
After a photo shoot at home I have decided that black is going back: I like it but I already have a black sequin top which gives me a similar effect. So now it is a contest between grey and wine.
Sorry , I don't have an app to do a photo collage here so there are many photos here. My main concern is versatility: I want to wear this top with my blazers: which one do you like better with my blazer collection?
#1-5 - grey sweater
#6-10 - wine sweater
Right now I don't have neither grey nor wine tops to wear with trousers and jeans so any of these two will expand my top collection.
Please help me choose - or are they different enough to keep both - or should I return all of them?
Oh, and sorry for my slippers and tired face!:-)

I think the burgundy is more flattering to your coloring.

I think they both look great Sveta but the burgundy is especially nice on you - and I love it with all the jackets!

Burgundy - you look gorgeous in that colour! The grey is quite nice too, but the burgundy is wonderful on you.

Suz

Ha. Well, I like the grey one better!

On the other hand, the grey one might still be too similar to black sequin. And the burgundy is very nice too. I don't think it works quite as well with the jackets, particularly the chanel-like one. At least not on my monitor.

Another vote for burgundy, but both are great.

Another vote for burgundy!

Both are great, but the burgundy is a slight favorite for me. Not completely sure on it in #9, but probably just how it reads on the computer.

I vote burgundy, it brightens your face.

Hmmm. That is a great blazer collection. I like both sweaters with the tan blazer, but I'd actually like to see something lighter with the rest of them....like a cream or pearl grey. I guess it boils down to how much contrast you like. Of course scarves/jewelry could make all of these look just lovely (funny how that works).

edit: Coming back to say I like the grey sweater with the burgundy blazer, too!

Without looking at the comments, I vote burgundy! Gorgeous top, Sveta! I love lurex thread.

Was there consensus?

Sveta

Thanks everyone for your feedback - as always it is invaluable!
Angie, it looks like burgundy one has the consensus here. I knew it is a more flattering color for me but I was not sure if it is versatile enough.
Suz, this burgundy sweater with red Chanel-like jacket is the least favorite for me too: I have included all combinations just to give an idea about my blazer collection with these sweaters, I don't think I will wear them together.
Claire, I think it does not photograph well but I think the lurex thread makes these sweaters less dark IRL and provides more contrast with darker jackets.
I think it was difficult for me to choose because I liked both of them. Again, thank you all for helping me to decide. Grey sweater goes back and I am wearing the burgundy one tomorrow because I am on Team Wear Now!

whew! sveta, i'm glad that my tardy reply did not change the outcome. i love the wine color on you.

Burgundy is my favorite on you! Pretty

Marley

IMO - you can't go wrong with either color - I LOVE them both!

Deborah

Sveta I love these tops on you. I think the burgundy top is so flattering on you. The grey is nice but I don't think it does much for your lovely complexion.

My personal preference is for burgundy. But a grey top might be useful as well. I think the colors are different enough to warrant keeping them both.

But if you can keep only one: burgundy
