Solanum seafortheanum & S. dulcamara

After expressing an interest in a lavender flowering solanum vine, I
received two as a present:  Solanum seafortheanum looks as if it has
fine foliage and clusters of very small pale lavender flowers. Solanum
dulcamara has more robust foliage and larger flowers; lavender with
yellow centers. Hortus Third calls it Poisonous nightshade, a weedy
climber.
    What can any of you tell me about either of these. Which do I want
to plant, if either, in my small garden? I'm particularly interested in
their growth habit, and whether either is invasive.
    I've grown both S. jasminoides and S. wendlandii. Can you compare to
either? The ominous listing in Hortus makes me worried.  TIA for any
input.    Jan
