That looks a much better Doily Grandma would love one on her bedside table.
With paint on it I don't think it will look so harsh V2 has my vote over V1. It is more in shape with the crown V1 appeared more circular.

I can but admire your attention to detail, it can turn a good model into a great one.

They both looked fine to me. I'm sure the end result will look stunning no matter.
