Roasted up some Guatemala Acatenango Gesha yesterday from @Tennessee Dave. Took a long time to get first crack and only ran a few seconds after before cooling. Brother it's not a budget bean but if you like what SM lists as the flavor profile jump on some for a treat. Thank you Dave for bombing me with this fantastic bean

Looks better to me. Has a more even color and less chaff if you still want a darker roast maybe try until you hear 2nd C and then drop/colander in a pan and cool quick.Just finished my 2nd shot at roasting. Tried to go longer and darker this roast, maybe 7-7.5 min in the air popper.
Color isn't a ton darker than the last to my eye but its a bit more oily.
I have re-roasted one or two batches in the past and they tasted fine. Some people say the re-roast can take on a funny taste and others say nothing bad. Maybe it depends on the beans and how dark you go the first time? I could see on a darker roast that has more oils it could burn the oils on the outside quick and ruin the batch. I'd try it and see if it taste good thats the only way you'll know after all.

Which is better the Yemen Moki or this one? Glad you enjoyed the Geisha

By far for my taste the Gesha. The Yemen had a very grassy note and not much else. I'm going to change the roast time on the next batch of Yemen and see if it's better.
Maybe try to blend the two together. Two parts Gesha to one part Yemen, just enough for a single cup. Blending experiments are fun.
I'm going to try my hand at this coffee thing. Never really been a coffee drinker. Tonight I ordered a cheap burr grinder, electric digital kettle, pour over decanter (all at the recommendation of @ChuckMejia), as well as an air popper with 8lb sampler from sweet Maria's. Chuck was kind enough to roast me some beans and shipped them today. My decanter, grinder, and kettle will be here tomorrow thanks to amazon prime 1 day free shipping. Once everything else arrives, and I'm ready to try roasting for the first time, I'll be turning to you guys for advice. This thread could result in some real trouble for me if all goes well. Thanks to all you freaking enablers 
If it doesn't go as planned, watch the classifieds for some barely used coffee supplies for sale/trade

I guess we can call it even since I threw him from the CC cliff without a chute (that is if I enjoy it)
Ordered at 2320 last night, delivered at 0840 this morning. Thanks Amazon Prime!
The kettle and pour over decanter that was ordered at the same time, will be here soon as well. Ready to give this a go. Oops, NO beans @ChuckMejia!!!!!
