How to decide
Open both pricing pages and write down the total for three years, including the renewal. Add any extras you need, such as backups or a domain. If the totals are close, try each control panel and choose the one you find easier, because you will use it long after the price stops mattering.
We have no verdict until we have tested both. Our method is on how we test.
