i know west-end-girls is actually kinda dark song, but the overall feeling doesn't feel like it, while notorius got a more dark vibe to it which fitted darkos action better.

This Pet Shop Boys song was of the "depeche mode" type songs... grittier, sexier, more mature than Duran Duran... which makes Duran Duran's "Notorious" more fitting, as one said earlier, for juxtaposing how ridiculous these little girls are in their emo, German Goth-esque expressions with the creepy, not cool latter sounds of a desperate Duran Duran, who along with other 80's "boy bands", would suck ass in a frightening way... But nothing was creepier than "A View To A Kill" ... oh, the horror.

I like the other song better, but this one goes along with the choreography more smoothly.

Both versions work, but Notorious made Sparkle Motion so much more iconic. I just don't find myself going... OMFG ITS SPARKLE MOTION in this version like I do with the faster song.
