I visit a lot of houses (selling real estate.) The glass ones generally look better over time. The steel balls tend to flake paint over time. The larger balls have a clearer, bigger view. Happy shopping!

The steel ones are a bear to clean (spotty, streaky), and tend to look pretty shabby after a short time due to the elements. I have a glass one, and it looks great, I just squirt with a hose when I am watering my flowers and it’s clean. The steel ones also tend to flake and crack.
Good luck!
