Choosing between two rooms for a home studio

Hi everybody, I am moving into a new house near Darmstadt (Germany) together with my family and have a choice between two rooms to install a small home studio in (unfortunately I cannot have both :-)). The idea is basically to have a place for composing and arranging music, mixing and possibly for small recording tasks. This means that I am not intending to do major modifications to the room but rather tweak the acoustics with low-budget "portable" treatment as broadband absorbers in the corners and diffusors. Probably I will also need to place a bookshelf into the room. Since there are no other people in this house, sound isolation is not an issue. The question is basically which room I should choose in order to achieve acceptable acoustic response in the listening position. To me it seems that the right room would mean the least compromise. I have attached a floor plan, two photos of the rooms as well as a suggested monitor positioning. (I am also grateful for alternative ideas as regards to this.) The two main issues are the asymmetry of the rooms as well as the roof slope (in particular in the left room). As can be seen, the floor covering is laminate and the rest is wallpapered wall. The doors are out of milk glass. I would also be happy for suggestions of how minimal effective treatments (budget up to 300,- Euro) could look like to get rid of the room's acoustic asymmetry. Kind regards, Waldemar

while the long room is nice for length, it puts the angled ceiling to your side. so the shorter room might be the better choice. or turning the mix position on its side to face the angled ceiling and adjusting the window wall to incorporate treatments so its symmetrical.

What do you think of choosing the long room and installing broadband absorbers on its left wall-ceiling corner? This would mimik the angled ceiling on the right side and restore the symmetry of the room. Furthermore one could build a big bass trap in the right corner beside the window for the same porpose.

i would install a MDF panel on the wall-ceiling corner (with pink insulation behind it) then add absorbers on the face to mirror the other side. on the front - i'd probably build out the deep corner with trapping and slats across the front (leave an opening for a window) to make that squared.
