Speedglas 100 are a little bit of a toy. I'm a speedy man but definitely go for the 9100 xxi one.

IS there a reason you are only choosing between the 2?
Knowing what you do helps us decide what's best for you. I am a bit of helmet fanatic so I am sure we can get you the best one for what you do, once we know what you do.
Weld outside a lot?
TIG, Stick, MIG?
Hobby or professional?
Grind and cut a lot with grinders, plasma cutting, saws?
Wear glasses?

Esab Aristotech HD. My current helmet.
I think you're European so Oerlikon Citolux 4500 might be worth considering. Shade 5-13 and X-mode like the Miller and Esab mentioned. No own experience.
New Esab Sentinel ?

Eventually I bought a Number 9 plain welding glass and I use it not bad . Until I will find a good mask I will use this simple
glass. For the first time I have noticed the glow of arc starting in a white cloud temporarily before the starting of the real
tig arc .Maybe it would had been better if i had number 10 shade but even in the masks I used it was 9 setting .
