We need to analyse the question. "Which model is better". The freedictionary suggests better is "More useful, suitable, or desirable"

The way I see it both models have the same level of utility (same size, number of seats, comparable performance etc) , both are well suited for the intended use or user (going surfing and putting a few runs on the board) but one is quite clearly more desirable, demonstrated by past sales evidence and a distinct lack of availability. I have to say Mr Gene - you are barrowing shit up hill bro
