London system 2. Bf4 or 2. Nf3?

There is no philosophers stone. If there were only rock and paper no one would choose rock. It seems it is in the transitions. After a few moves do I see some London setups turn into Trompowsky positions? I am just learning.

Is it correct to assume the general difference between 2. Bf4 and 2. Nf3 is that by starting with the knight you risk running in to a vast amount of openings that you have to know? But that you "conceal" your London intention for another move. Apart, of course, if you have a specfic line intended that just needs that specific move order.

2. Nc3 3. Bf4 is much better London opening

#22 That’s not even the London lol, some people call it the “Jobava London” but its real name is the Rapport-Jobava system.
