How to decide
In the same price band the deciding factors are practical, not electrical: which machine your local stockist actually services, which kit includes the accessories you'd otherwise buy, and which one your supplier will sharpen on price. Get quotes on both and let them compete — that's the honest tiebreaker the spec sheet can't give you.
