Tom: For my money, I'd say buy neither and pick another face. The basic problem is that Optima is just too subtle to render properly at 300 dpi. The Adobe font has two masters on it — one for low resolution, which doesn't even look like Optima to me — and a better one for high resolution. It's just one of those sad facts of life that some faces aren't suitable for low resolution work. –jon
