Having just rebeaten "Murder by Numbers", I would say I agree with Manti and the last one is better due to similar reason.
The top center of the previous version indeed tricked me initially and I blocked myself.
The most difficult part for me was in common for both levels.
Incredibly tricky path. I gave up a few weeks ago, and now that I came back I finally was able to solve it. 9 tries. I'm getting prepared for the rest of Rambo's levels now...
Weird path to save the two steps I was missing. I am confused at how easily I got the bottom right but struggled to maximize the left. But a great path.
