lady margaret or crimson tears?

Rockport, TX(Zone 9a)

Passiflora experts, I'm hoping you will advise me as to which passiflora would best suit my needs. I had kind of decided on Lady Margaret because I want one of the smaller ones (I believe this is listed as under 20') and I would like a deep burgundy color and the white center is also perfect. Having just decided that I need this, I went to my local nurseries hoping for immediate gratification. They didn't have Lady Margaret but two of them had Crimson Tears which also seemed very pretty.

Should I satisfy my craving now with Crimson Tears or should I hold out for Lady Margaret? If you have both, please let me know which is your favorite. I'm also interested in any comments on either of these two choices or on other burgundy/maroon/wine colored varieties.

Flying V is a pretty one! Looking in ebay, I also saw one called Pura Vida Red that looked really pretty and one called Sherry. hmmmm...

I called another local nursery who told me that they expect to have Lady Margaret next week, so I'm eager to have a look at that one. It seems to be the darkest burgundy, but it's hard to tell from a photo.
