Five Ten Aescent vs. Guide Tennie approach shoe?

Don't know which ones to get.. I love the toe box feature of the guide tennie as it seems it will make them climb incredibly well, however I've been seeing a lot of reviews saying they fall apart very quickly. The aescents seem great. I love the style and they get mostly postive reviews. Just wondering how they climb compared to the tennies. Would love to hear someone's two cents! Thanks.

Owned both for a few years

Guide Tennie
-more towards a low top hiker now
-stiffer (done gym 5.11's in them no problem)
-less breathable / hotter
-beefy molded protective toe box
-better for long approaches, heavy loads, and aid in relation to the Aescent

Aescents
-more like a regular sneaker
-softer than a guide tennie but still climbs great, just not the edging power that a guide tennie has, but your foot is closer to your outsole. (also done gym 5.11's in them no problem)
-more breathable
-shorter suede toe box which I actually liked more than a guide tennie for crack climbing in them
-My favorite shoe for flat pedal mtb riding
-imo a much better every day/ do everything shoe

The new guide tennies fucking suck, fine leather and fine rubber, get la sportiva, much better quality and much more durable.
