I think I like the second one better, but this is just my opinion.

Aside from it being a needless amount of information to clutter the display with, I can pretty much guarantee you won't be able to figure out a clean way of sizing the panels to accomodate all that data without truncating one or more of them for some selected objects.

I suspect I will end up objecting strongly to any patch that tries do do what's being discussed.
