Any immediate takes? The pinch seems a bit more versatile if I want to dress it up with a blazer or tweed.

IMO the pinch looks nicer than the beefroll, but it's personal preference really, they're practically interchangable (anyone who tells you beefroll loafers are too casual to wear with a sport coat or pinch loafers are too formal to wear with shorts is a nerd)

I bought the pinch. I personally am not a fan of the contrast stitching of the beefroll, and I think the beefrolls are just a trifle too casual. Although, I think these are minor, subjective things. Both of them are nice shoes, IMO. Buy which ever one you prefer.
