Both have too many invisible options, in my opinion. See Google's search page top bar for what I think is a good setup - most relevant options first, and a menu for more.
Thanks. That is a good reference, but we do not have as many main categories as Google. I think it might confuse users to have all options on the same level.
The nick is just because its so incredibly cold here right now: Berlin -22 degrees, don't know in Fahrenheit but its "your face hurts when stepping outside" cold.
Well then perhaps you should reorganize it to have less options. Are you a category service like play.com or Amazon? If not, do your users really NEED to see all those options?
(I'm in Köln, it's much warmer here. But I was in Finland over the weekend, and it was around -20. It's not that bad when it's dry enough.)
Also, is your nick an Alphaville reference?
