Little Help?

So I'm trying to figure out this new department headline font and I'm a bit stuck. A lot of what I try I don't think works very well with the rest of the fonts on the spread (namely Cholla Slab) or maybe it's just that I've been working on this spread for way too long. I chose this spread to work from since it's got a lot of variation and the pull quote in Cholla Slab. So here's the original plus 5 variations (Stratum, Museo, Cholla Slab, Cholla (sans) Italic (since we said the ital looked ok in class) and Auto Italic (Auto Regular just looked too plain). Anyone have comments?
