Can you tell the difference between these two center gear parts? Which one do you prefer?

The one on the left...
The landing/taxi light housing will lend itself better to a "lens"... the tire is smoother and the other's wheel's detail

I agree, the left one would be the best choice!

Well, that's what I thought, too.
The one on the right was created by someone else, as part of another aircraft I downloaded. It included a source file, and I liked the gear so much that I thought I might alter it a bit and then ask to include it on one of my own aircraft.
After a little bit of looking, it turned out that the gear had over 4000 polys, which seemed a bit high for my tastes. The one on the left I created from scratch, using the right one as a guide. The poly count on the one I created is nearly 1000 polys less, and (to me) looks much better than the one I downloaded.
