Black Carlyle Plaintoe - Shoebank or AE Website?

Hi:

I am debating between buying the Black Carlyle Plain-Toe Oxfords from Shoebank and AE.

Shoebank: http://ift.tt/2pOBtPS

AE: http://ift.tt/2pwbC2t

The price difference is $60 for firsts vs seconds.

1. Are these good black shoes for a formal work setting?
2. Do you recommend another AE shoe or shoe brand for black shoes?
3. Is there a huge difference in firsts vs seconds?

Thanks.
