Re: two Var. of Mammillaria magnifica?
plant 2, the single stemmed plant is definitely magnifica. As to the other one, it might be what is called M. magnifica v. minor, but your photos aren't quite clear enough to be sure. Thinner stems and darker centrals are similar to what I have grown from seed with that name. Has it flowered? If so what kind of flowers did it have?

Re: two Var. of Mammillaria magnifica?
Its either a for of M. magnifica with unusually dark and thick spines or a form of M. rekoi. This species is very variable, much more so that M. magnifica. Dark red flowers appear on both species, though those of M. magnifica (at least on my plants) tend to be paler and with a rather pale throat, compared to rekoi flowers which tend to be darker (apart from a few yellow flowered forms).
On balance though, I'd plump for M. rekoi.
