SO Colorado Tarp vs DST Tarp?

I am planning on using either of these tarps for various things from protecting meat from rain, pitching for extra space for gear, or even solo or 2 man bivy style camping for 2-3 days. Which one would you choose and why?

DST, it weighs 3 ounces more but is more versatile due in part to the reinforced center cone.

DST, super versatile pitching/hanging options and larger i believe.

They're basically the same size, difference is the DST has the reinforced center patch to hold a trekking pole. The Colorado comes with linelocs which makes tensioning easier.

Basically, the DST is easier to rig as a shelter with a trekking pole. The Colorado is easier to rig as a lean-to, awning, or suspended from trees, etc.

so we can make the same pitchs if the colorado have an DIY reinforced patche sewed in the center?They are the same sizes and same numbers of tieouts.
