Andy Murray's forehand vs Federer's forehand?

I've been thinking whose forehand should I model my own after...

Murray's forehand: http://www.improve-your-tennis.com/tennis-forehand...

I noticed that he looks to bring his arm straight out before giving it a swing

Federer's forehand: http://www.optimumtennis.net/forehand-stroke.htm

A bit difficult to see but Federer basically instead of bringing his arm straight out, his arms first form a L shape with the racket

I want one that's easier to be consistent in and learn...?

Update:

I would love the time to work out my own shots but don't have the time and training haha

Fed's obviously more successful with his shots but I just really love how straight forward Murray's forehand is...

    Federer`s all the way. He has a good stance, and his shot have control all the time.

    Murray`s is good too, but thats a forehand for counter shots only.

    In my opinion, Federer has a better forehand, if not, one of the best. Andy has a good forehand, but not really offensive most of the time during matches.

    *Personal tip

    - Develop your own forehand, don't try to copy from players,(although you can think of them as inspirations) why I say so? Because if you try to copy their forehand and you kept missing, definitely it makes you angry and you might loose interest of winning a match or you'll feel like practice is boring because of errors.

    So if I were you, develop your own style. That way you'll be able to find a champion in you ;)

    Until Murray wins one Slam title... let alone 15 or 16.. you should pattern as much of your game after Fed as you can..... if you have the talent to back it up.... that is that hard part.
