I've owned that Breguet as well as the chronograph version, and have almost pulled the trigger on a Santos a few times.

The Santos will not look good after ~2 - 4 years of wear due to how much they pick up scratches. The problem is, it makes the watch look dull and loses the super shiny aesthetic.

The Breguet has awesome hand done guilloche, and decent finishing...but a little underwhelming compared to their tradition line and is not as comfortable as the Santos.

Personally, I would go Santos but depends on how OK you are with scratch magnets.

One thing I would think through though is how often you'll reach for a watch that isn't the VC when these all fulfill the same purpose.
