Pottery Barn Slipcovers

Does anyone have experience with the Pottery Barn twill slipcovers?  I'm debating between these two and would appreciate any insight!

ETA: This is the badly wearing couch from Jennifer Convertibles that I'll be covering

Hate the tie arm, it just looks messy to me.

I kind of like it only because the other one looks like a pain to get perfect. Then again pillows will cover the pleats usually. Hmm, yeah the tie arm looks a little messy. Thanks.

I used to own the slipcover in the first picture. I bought it because it was the only T-Cushion Cover I could find. I will say it never looked like it did in the catalog (they were timeconsuming to put on and I was always having to redo them or they ended up looking sloppy). I did like how I was able to wash them though and they came out looking good as new. Also, it was a way better alternative to the ugly couch that was underneath. I think the couch you are trying to cover has better form than ours did (our arms were slouchy and not sturdy...if that makes sense) and personally I like the look of the first picture the best.

Also....the covers I have are in Navy. I had the medium and large couch covers. If you are interested i am sure I can dig them up and out of storage.

I don't have those, but I like the first one better.

Oh and my sister bought one from JCP that was snug fitting and looked great, but it had more texture than those (still was cream).

Thanks for your input!  I think I'll get the first one and hope that it looks as good.  The arms and rest of the couch are pretty structured.  If not, I'll return them to the store.  I'd buy them from you if Navy matched the rest of my decor but it doesn't.
