GW9400 vs PRW3500

What will be tetter choice?
I have 3000/3100/300 Protreks so 3500 probably won’t be surprise.
Never had 9400.
Function vise these close , but not so much.
Protrek
comes with direct buttons (i like it)
Better screen layout
sunset/sundown times
rotating bezel
3510 in some models can come with STN

GW9400
Comes with better stopwatch (not like i need it)
Even more bulkier build than 3500

Both models are 10 years old or older.

Did i miss something? Does someone have both and can comment…
