^ in this regard, I believe the differences, are in some regard, due to materials - calf versus shell cordovan. I am on the opposite side of Sevenfold. I love bal boots and I own that exact version of the Shannon - it is a wonderful boot. That said, I think the Carmina wins. It is shell, which is better suited to the purpose and it is more reasonably priced. Also, I have two pairs of Carminas in shell and I think their finishing is second to none. I think a greater amount of contrast (in terms of color) would have benefitted the Carmina. Both are stunning to me.
Shannon is a slender and sleek overall. Carmina bal boot has more pronounced curves in the taper to the toe and more overall body compared to Shannon.
