Cotton flannel or muslin??

I'm loving the larger swaddle blankets.  The cotton flannel Carter's receiving blankets were great for the first couple weeks, but Addison has definitely outgrown them.  I've been using the thin (almost gauzy) 100% cotton blankets from Swaddle Designs since I realized that the larger blankets are better. 

However, I have two Aden + Anais swaddle blankets too.  I'm reading that they are muslin, but that the company makes a "double muslin" swaddle for cooler temperatures.  As fall approaches, I'm debating buying 2 of the "ultimate receiving blankets" or 2 of the double muslin blankets. 

For comparison, here are links:

"Ultimate Receiving Blankets" from Swaddle Designs:  https://www.eswaddle.com/cgi/commerce.cgi?listcategories=action&parent=UR00&template=PDGCommTemplates/HTN/CategoryURB.html

Aden + Anais double muslin blankets:

Essentially, they are the same price, but the A+A blankets are all 47 inches square, while the Swaddle Designs blnakets are 42 inches square.   

Which one should I buy?

    I am probably the least crafty person on this board. I wish I could make a blanket. The decision would be much less complicated.

    I love A&A blankets.  They are a great size.

    I only voted for the muslin blanket because I love my regular, one layered A&A swaddle blankets. I still use them today to lightly wrap his lower body in his crib.
