Michael Olaf carries this Tallest Tree Stacker. Would this be fine to use in lieu of a Pink Tower or is there something about the color and lack of detail that makes the Pink Tower a better choice?

Thank you for all your expert advice!

We have the tree stacker in addition to the pink tower. It is slightly different:
-the blocks are hollow so they don't have the weight of the pink tower blocks whihc is an important sensorial element
-the smallest block is not correctly proportioned (it should be 1 cm but is much larger, probably for safety reasons)
-it obviously is not a uniform color. Montessori believed in isolating the concepts so the child could grasp them more easily.

Otherwise I love the tree blocks, and they also nest which is cool.
