I have both and like them very much. The cherry chestnut is cherryish color in sunlight. The cherry chestnut is like a swanky, stylish lady ready to be wined and dined while the walnut espresso is like an outdoorsy woman strapped with primitive weapons ready to take on anything that comes her way.

Cherry Chestnut was my 2nd choice, so I'm a fan (went with Cherry Bordeaux, which I love).
Do you know that Axiom will send you samples? They're roughly 12x14 inch full size boards with the veneer. They'll make you several for you; and while you have to pay for them initially, they'll deduct the cost from any subsequent order. Very worthwhile.

Mojo I will let everyone know....did a very crude test a few days ago with my VP160 mini & noticed a large difference between it and my M80's so I know not a realistic or accurate test but could hear a difference enough 4 me to pull trigger on M80's V4 in walnut with expresso finish.Now to wait the 25 days as is worth the savings will report back

If they're still going in your apartment, I'm assuming it'll be well lit with natural light during the day. The walnut espresso will look great there.
