Both are fantastic pieces but the 15416CE has the excellence of the Double Balance, yet with the versatility of ceramic. A perfect, understated, elevated, all around beater which you can wear everywhere without worrying about scratches etc.

Separately - I find both the Platona and SS DB super blingy and easy to recognize - and if that's your vibe, then keep them. Otherwise, if it's your first black ceramic from AP, and you don't have other "understated" pieces, the 15416CE is a better choice.

Can't lose with either. Good luck!

Think the 15416CE is marginally cooler than the 15407st. A big point is the “feel” or weight. Make sure you like the lightness of ceramic because after coming from steel and platinum, many say it feels “cheap”.
Definitely a hard choice
