What to do, what to do...

Ok, I posted some time back asking for concerto suggstions and ended up going for the Totentanz. I love the piece and I think it would work well for me, however now it seems that instead of having it prepared by fall, I would  need it prepared by next Spring. This gives me more time and the possibility of learning something of more substance, so now I ask you for a little advice...

I was considering the Schumann concerto. Although so frequently played, I believe that it is one of those pieces that could still do well in a competition. Or is it? Would I be better off finishing the Totentanz or learning the Schumann? Which would fare better in a concerto competeion? The Schumann holds a soft spot with me, so that is why I'm considering that one. Suggestions pleeeeze.....

I would stick with the Totentanz. If you can pull it off, not only will everyone be impressed, you yourself will be impressed too.

Totentanz is more awesome, harder, and a more suitable competition piece.
