You really can't go wrong, if it was me it would depend on which TI you are talking about. I have a few TIs and a filly 13 dt and can say the filly is every bit as good if not slightly better than both my new TI and my vintage TI, but it can't touch the edge on my TI made from a historic blank which stands alone as my best shaver. So yeah it would depend on which TI and whatever one I liked the look of more.
