usually it's a space consideration. I like the B best between those two, given that limit. if the budget and space allow for a SS B, the marvelous C should be considered as size and cost wise they are in somewhat similar levels

Both are incredible pianos! Every teaching studio at Juilliard, and most conservatories for that matter, are fitted with 2 Steinway Model B pianos. The scale of the Model B is simply perfect. If you're tight on space, maybe look to get an A3, which at 6'4" is a little closer than the standard Model A.
