We’re opening up our main floor but due to the width of the room there has to be a post. Which design looks better?

I’d like to note that I wouldn’t choose to clad the post and beam in wood like my designer has rendered because I think it would visually draw the eye to it and I don’t want to do that. It would be trimmed out and the same colour as the walls with no arch detailing. I also think the posts can be more narrow than depicted in the pony wall design (it only needs to be 10”).
