    I'm with everyone else-it's shorter.

    the shorter body. if you don't put sashes between the blocks, it will look like a straight line if you use the first one.

    Ok - I kept looking at it and looking and couldn't figure out what was different. Then I actually read what you wrote!!! Should have done that to start with! I think the second one looks like a body instead of sashing.

    As an alternative, have you considered, appliquing a body with rounded ends and then stiching antennas? This would be a little more work, but I think worth the effort.
