MS 8 Concave

You get the lip and the concave face. Best of both worlds. And the lip is not overpowering.

Tough call... that Step Lip in Option #3 is pretty nice too! I just think it would be a pain cleaning the lip in Option #2 because the spokes (or whatever you call that part of the face) go onto the lip so cleaning in between them might be cumbersome... but aesthetically I don't think you can go wrong with either choice... both look great! Definitely NOT Option #1...
