Poll for next Bond tie project

As the orders for the Q-Boat and Hamburg ties have started arriving at people's doorsteps, its safe to say the results have been terrific and Magnoli has really done a superb job in recreating both the quality and accuracy of the original ties.
As such, I'd like to get everyone's input on where they would like to focus their attention and money next. As always, there will be a commitment to accuracy (down to the stitch, whenever possible), and we won't do ties that are readily available in the marketplace.
Here is a compilation of the Brosnan era ties that people have established interest in the past and some I am suggesting:
From left to right:
1) GE "Tank" tie - originally made by Sulka, worn during the archives scene and tank chase. I have some good high resolution shots of this tie, thanks to the wax Brosnan wearing this tie at Madame Toussaud's.
2) GE "Arrival" tie - worn during the Q scene and also on his arrival to St Peterburg. Also worn by Brosnan to the opening of Harrod's in '95. Can't say I'm particularly a fan of this tie.
3) TWINE Promo tie - not actually seen on screen, but used in promo shots (y'kno, pictures of Brosnan as Bond holding the gun in 16 different ways). I have high resolution pics of this as well, so accuracy would be pretty sharp.
4) TWINE "Pipeline" tie - can't say I know too much about this tie, and in fact there's been some discussion in another thread about whether it's T&A or not. There aren't any really great shots of it, and definitely not of the weave. Any recreation of this would have to fudge it in some areas... might be best to wait till BluRay?
5) DAD blue circle tie - some people on the forums have this tie... reference photos would go a long way.
6) DAD red tie - Brioni tie, worn for just a few mins on screen.
===============
Okay... now, could everyone list their #1 choice, and also a secondary choice for a tie you would be willing to jump on board if that were chosen instead of your first choice?
Like before, the magic number is ~12 for one specific tie in order to turn idea into reality. Cost would be $55-60.

But for the time being, lets add to the voting list.
TND Copper tie:

I can understand that, although there was certainly enough interest in the initial project for the TWINE and TND ties. I figure, while that enthusiasm still remains lets take a crack at one more that people would really be interested in from that era.
As for my personal vote:
1) DAD blue circle tie
2) GE tank tie
3) TND copper tie
2)goldeneye arrival tie
my all time choice though would be the striped tie from MR from the arrival in California and also some pr shots
Okay. I'd definately take the GE arrival tie. That's stylish without the Bond connection.
And I guess the pipeline tie as a second choice.
Though I suspect the concensus will be for those with most screen time - GE tank tie, DAD circles and TND copper tie.
I can see I'm going to have to let my hair grow out like Brosnan again and get rid of my Craig crop:o
Just grow it out to TWINE-style so it won't have to reach the epic Remington Steele-like proportions of Goldeneye
GE Tank - 4
TND Copper - 2
GE Arrival - 2
DAD blue tie - 1
