Choosing between a Monstera deliciosa and a Fiddle Leaf Fig for my north-facing window

I had a tight space in my Seattle apartment and needed one statement plant. It was down to a large Monstera or a Fiddle Leaf Fig, both about $75. I went with the Monstera because I read they tolerate lower light better, and it's actually put out two new leaves in three weeks. Anyone have a Fiddle Leaf in similar light that's doing okay?

Wait, two new leaves in three weeks with a north window? That's crazy fast growth, even for a Monstera. Mine in a similar spot took months to push out one. You must have the perfect spot for it.

Right?! My friend's Monstera EXPLODED in a north corner, it was insane. Some spots are just magic.
