Which one would you choose and why? 

Cheers.

TADs are step above in both build quality and sound reproduction compared to the both speakers. Don't 100% relay here on what the folks have to say. Some will give you sincere experience but some will claim what they have is best of the best although they never heard TAD speaker. Just arrange an audition for the ME1 and you will see for your self :)  Good luck

I've owned and sold Dynaudio Excite X12s and the floorstanding Sapphires (5 yrs) and although both were fine, I'd far prefer Joseph Audio, and love TAD floorstanding speakers as well, but am not familiar with the ME1. (Get a sub if needed.)

Both seem more long-term listenable to me than the Dynaudio models I owned.

You have some nice models to think about, and listen to. Good luck.

Interesting subject.  I am primarily a OB dipole listener.  I would like to have a reference stand mount speaker for rotation.  Whatever chosen will be electronically crossed over to either a Linkwitz Lab equalized "H" style open box woofer or GR Research "H" style servo woofer.  Using a general 60-120Hz crossover point.   So lower octave of so is removed.  I especially like the Pulsar 2 even when used full range.  Limited experience with Dynaudio, Focal and TAD.  Feel the B&W 805 D4 is in the running.   More opinions.  I am blessed with two rooms; 450 sq. ft. and 900 sq. ft..  

I worked for Magnolia and got to spend a lot of time with the 805 D3, and I’m also very familiar with the Pulsar.  The 805 is a nice, clean-sounding speaker, but to me the Pulsar does just about everything better and just plays at a higher level overall. Just my $0.02 FWIW.
