Buy recommendations K11 or K31?

Looking to buy either a k11 or k31. K31 would be a rack grade and k11 a select grade. Need advice on the following:

Unsure of which one to get, for those who have bought a rack grade and or select grade k11 or k31, please chime in and inform me on quality of bore, finish etc.

Thank you!

In many ways (shortened action length and redesigned action, more durable metal bolt handle vs bakelite, barrel quality, magazine fitment and finish quality, etc) the K31s are objectively better guns, however the K11 (or the G11s for that matter) have that early 20th century/WW1 charm to it. The Swiss designed the K31 out to be as accurate as the longer G11s, so there's also that. But in anycase, especially with how cheap 7.5x55 Swiss commericial ammo are right now, they will be a great addtion to anyone's collection for sure! Can't go wrong either way.
