Smith, does have other good traits, good kick, excellent in contested ball situations, and they are the main reasons he is playing in our defence, although I am also disappointed Aish is not in!Aish cant be considered inconsistent, having played only one game. I would consider his upside higher than Smiths whos only strength seems to be consistency but not much else.
Its not a major issue one way or the other but my preference would be to give Aish another chance.
