Ive seen them both. I like the custom one a lot. The Redwood Orion looks nice as well, but I dont like the finish on it (from the picture, which I know can be misleading). It looks too bright and glossy. I also think the asking price for a used Orion on that one is a bit high. The other custom one is just a real great looking guitar and is a decent deal at its current price. I was trying to figure out what kind of electronics package it has, looks custom.
 
Both guitars are very nice. Dont see too many alembics that arent basses on ebay.

Well I suppose it's an ok price for the upgraded top on the Orion.  The other is for sure a Series 1 or 2 but does it have LED's etc...  Needs a better decription.  Both are great looking though.

I think the custom one is a series I with some additional knobs. Could be totally wrong of course. The top looks great on that guitar.
 
The Orion looks nice and I guess compared to a new guitar its a decent deal, but unless that redwood top is some kind of crazy expensive top then I would have to say that the guy is asking a lot. Ive looked at a few used Orions and they tend to be in the low 1000 dollar range. I guess his price isnt too bad, but he did start out at around 2500 and that was very high. You could get a brand new Orion in that range.  
 
Both are nice, its nice to see used Alembic guitars, not many of them are out there that I see at least.

The Small Standard on e-bay is a custom guitar with series 2 electronics. It has no leds, no back, and a flame walnut top.
 
The redwood burl top on the Orion is actually very expensive, in the 1000+ range.
