Mist > Shiro. Oustide and inside. The " Shiro is the newest. " is exaggerated and to me not a good enough reason to pick it. I feel stuck with an Asian theme with shiro houses, which isn't bad, but I prefer Mist over all. Again this is all preference, but the Mist larges are better than any other. The yards and space around them cannot be beat. Shiro larges you're facing the wrong way, but I could live with them of course.
