Monitor swap and question

Hello all,

I am looking for a little feedback from those that might already have an ROG swift and potentially the Freesync version of the swift and/or the Acer XB271HU monitor. With that said, what I am looking to do is get a bit more of a uniform (or even) appearance with my ROG Swift. Right now I am utilizing two 1440P monitors. One being the ROG swift while the other is an Acer K272HUL IPS. One thing that slightly bugs me is how big the bezel is on the Acer compared to the Asus and how I cannot actually line the screens up on my monitor arms because of the bezel differences. I have been contemplating over the past few weeks really two different scenarios.

1. Sell the ROG swift and pick up an Acer XB270HU (the version before the new predator) since it has the same bezel from images I have seen and its $389 refurbished direct from Acer.

2. Sell the K272HUL and pick up either the Asus MG278Q/MG279Q (144hz Freesync monitor, which I am assuming shares a similar aesthetic and bezel configuration to my swift, this is $335 open box from Newegg) or grab a XB271HU from Acer.

Since my local Microcenter absolutely refuses to set up either of this monitors, I cannot actually put any of them next to the demo Swift. I am looking to see if anyone might actually own a combination of these monitors. For knowledge, I am using the Locktek D5DH dual monitor arms.

I have attached an image to kind of give you an idea as to what I am talking about. I like clean looks, and this is just starting to bother me
now.
