Which Photo Setup is More Effective?

A lot of pen turners use props such as Pen Stands when photographing their pens.
I have posted some photos using a pen stand along with some photos without using any props.
Which do you like the best?

The pen is an Electra Gold/Chrome Rollerball with a piece of Black Ash Burl turned, sanded to 400x, buffed with extra fine steel wool and finished with 10 coats of MINWAX OMWB Polyurethane using my"Dipping Method"
