Planning to buy a Vintage Daytona 6263. What movement would be a "better" choice? 7750 or Venus Handwind. And is there a big difference?

I know for sure that the 7750 is more tricky then handwind or am i wrong?

Can you even find a 6263 with the 7750 movement these days? DW used to have them, but he's long gone. My experience has been that the a7750 can be a problem and it's tough to get them worked on, so I'd go for the Venus and hope for the best.

Looks like it doesn't have the correct asymmetrical pushers characteristic of the true V-72 Daytonas. Just depends on how critical that feature is for you.
