Which one? Manchester Guardian Angel or Kaiserin Aug Viktoria CL

I'm sure I could madly adore both of these climbers, but I can only pick one. Which blooms more constantly, smells better, has less disease, gets bigger? I will be putting it on a tunnel (20' long x 8' tall x 5' wide built on six 4x4's) with E. Veyrat Hermanos. I hope they agree to play nicely. I'm kind of leaning toward MGA. Vintage says it has rapid rebloom and strong fragrance.
DH said there may be a zoning ordinance against having two house-eating roses:)) (We have Cl Maman Cochet on the other side of the house that is really pretty scary - after only 9 months it has covered a 12x8 trellis plus an arbor. I think I want to be consumed by roses!)
Before I click send, I'm sure someone is going to politely ask me if I'm crazy and tell me I can't fit these 2 roses on this tunnel. If that is the case, I will be sad. I'm just going by a suggestion offered somewhere else that multiple climbers are good because one is always blooming.
Thanks all!
