roger
if both are growing at the same pace? id take the one with the
best natural angle off main
best stem position
best shape
the one that will cost me the least amt of plant pruning
and lastly
go with your gut.

time to pull the trigger

Roger, I know the feeling. I am in a bind myself and have a huge case of ICD. I cant decide.

Good luck

Farming- a bunch of catastrophies that result in a lifestyle

Ditto. I've got to choose one of the eggs tonight. Its gonna hurt me to cut either one....but egg B is growing faster than egg A- he's huge but is in a crap spot. Egg is growing slow but is gorgeous and positioned perfectly.

If you would rather have 2 pumpkins then the decision is easy. If you want the biggest pumpkin possible then no guts no glory. I tend to keep the older ones.
