Hey guys, I'm weighing up whether I should get the ROCCAT Siru or Raivo to go with my KONE XTD. I have a relatively small desk but I prefer the looks of the Raivo. Which one would be the better buy? (Money is no problem, and I'm not interested in the double sided one).

If I've said something wrong, please correct me

Thanks for the advice. No chance to get into a store (Australia has no best buy) so it will be hard to test one.
