We compare and contrast a simple bottom-up S_3 scalar leptoquark

versus a B_3-L_2 Z' as explanations for b->s mu+ mu- anomalies.

The recent LHCb analysis of R_K and R_{K^*} is considered. In the

Z' case, one may discover the flavon (the scalar associated with flavour

symmetry breaking) through a flavonstrahlung process

at future colliders.
