Purple Tilefish or Blue spot Jawfish

I have the oppurtunity to purchase a Purple Tilefish (which you don't see often), but really want a Blue Spot Jawfish.

Which one would you pick, and can you keep both in the same tank?

If you get the BSJF do you have substrate and the depth they require?

If you get the BSJF, be prepared for a sand storm in your tank. You will also want to make sure the top is covered for either fish.

BSJF generally do better in cooler tanks (low 70s).

Personally, I like the tilefish better. Their color is much more vibrant.

I have a 3in sand bed and an egg crate top, with an enclosed canopy
