I personally would consider neither, but AQ has higher snake oil ingredients.
I used my shares of AQ for decades --- still actively use a few today (simply because I couldn't sell them off without massive loss). My humble opinion is one would get more value from their classics series than all the current models with the fancy, confusing names. In some ways, buying AQ is like buying mattress.
It is funny that I ain't the one who went thru the AQ "sucker" process: Started with entry level AQ and pondered enough to keep upgrading ... only to find out the top of the mountain isn't as welcoming nor fulfilling. I hope your experience differs from mine.
