Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more >>

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.
