I hear you!! I finally got excited about doing my 2013 project yesterday - when I found Nettio's 8x10 book templates in the shop. I needed something different from my monthly spreads I have done in the past so I decided to do this style. But I am making my own templates, because I want them slightly different (thought I might still get the ones in the shoppe, just for more variety, and also for Traci's slip ins!). I am going to get an 8x10 softcover book done at viovio at the end of the year. 104 pages, baby!
I havent completed a "year" project since 2010. I think this new format will spur me into doing better this year.
As for the 2 looks you posted, I like the 2nd one for the project - just because it will be easier to keep up with, and I love the look too. You can always remove a couple pockets and do a cluster or 2 to dress them up. Plus you will still be able to scrap all your "other" non-project pages in any style you want!
