Dutch friends! May I borrow your eyes?

I am making a typeface and including a Dutch 'IJ' for the first time. Would you mind looking at these samples and telling me if my IJ makes sense or looks wrong in any way?The font is all uppercase and there are two versions of every letter, including the IJ, hence the two images.

Thank you so much!

@beach Dutch speaking/reading tooter here. The left looks better. It's also clear it's a Dutch "ij", it would not be confused as s U, although I might want to have the left hook of the J slightly shorter, so a little more space between the i and j in vertical position, if that makes sense.
