I love both but I prefer Danger Money.  As Ivan said, this is the more symphonic of the two and the absence of Holdsworth gives Jobson even more room to shine, and prove just what a phenomenal keyboard player he is.
 
Also, Bozzio's contribution is stunning.  I prefer him to Bruford easily.

The debut. Holdsworth's subtlety is the difference.

I prefer their first album, mostly because of Alan Holdsworth's guitar playing.

The first album for me, the second one is certainly weaker.

No. It's fact. It is not weaker. You may not like it as much. But that doesn't mean it's weaker.Tongue

You´ve probably overlooked the phrase "for me".

I thought the "for me" applied to the first album rather than the second.

Very difficult choice. I'm crazy about Danger Money's title track, Rendez-Vous 6:02 and Carrying No Cross: I think they are pretty sensational. I think the rest of the album is good, but not as good as the three tracks I mentioned. When I heard Danger Money for the first time, I was completely floored by it from the first, powerful, complex chords on. That was an amazing experience. Come to think of it, I was just beginning to buy prog albums, and I bought a cassette of Danger Money, Genesis' Foxtrot and Alan Parsons' debut in one buy for 10 Dutch guilders, which is about €4,50
Shocked . Foxtrot and Danger Money especially made an incredible impression on me.
 
As for the UK debut: I discovered it later, some time after I bought UK's live album Night After Night. In the beginning I was a bit disappointed by the debut, because the tracks that were also on Night After Night sounded much more mechanical on the debut than the live versions. I also had to grow in appreciating jazz rock. I'm still not a big jazz rock fan, but I learned to appreciate Canterbury a lot, and Bruford's and Allan Holdsworth's albums, and the UK debut album also grew on me, immensely. These days I would say that I like the debut even more than Danger Money, but my favorite UK tracks are still the ones I mentioned at the beginning of my post.
 
So: favorite UK album: UK (debut)
Favorite UK tracks though: Danger Money, Rendez-Vous 6:02 and Carrying No Cross.
