IMHO the header is to big, nice but big, the right menu area doesn`t look right being different in colour from the left and the colours for your links are abit dark for me, the iframe scroll bar would maybe look good as black and a nice shade of green taken from your header, thats on the first site.
The second site looks very retro, your colours are in your face and look cheap, plenty of infomation, maybe take your fonts down in size and blend your colours abit better, hope that helps.
