Jaiku or Laconi.ca?

Looking to use microblogging tool for a large scale instance. After spending a couple of days evaluating them I havent been able to figure out which one to use..

Laconi.ca - Its PHP based. - Partial XMPP support

   Pros
     - Supported by a good number of clients include mobile
     - Supports OpenMicroBlogging (OMB)
     - API is similar to twitter's
     - federation support
   Cons
     - GNU Affero license ( would have release all UI changes as well)
     - Creative Commons Attribution for all msgs. AGG
     - UI sucks & looks amateurish

Jaiku - Python based - Not sure about the XMPP support Pros - Licensing is Apache based - Pretty good UI Cons - Not a open standard - wont work with all or most twitter clients - No federation support

Anyone have thoughts about this? Any pointers to feature comparison.

Both seem to be in active development, but neither is perfect!

Thoughts or Pointers pls?
