I love both but a healthy blotchy is hard to beat

I like the blotchy! I have always been a fan of those kinds of anthias.

I have a feeling ventralis is going to win the entire thing. Could you please tag me?

I’d be surprised - Ventralis are nice but they’re still a basic anthias compared to others in the competition still.
If they go against another uncommon/common species they’ll likely win but some of the rarer species in the hobby you’ve not heard of could easily beat these guys.
