Which one is the winner?

Breville compact toaster oven BOV650XL is the winner in my opinion. The size of the ovens is the only differentiating feature. I think the BOV450XL is too small. But the price of this unit is not that less. Therefore, I don’t see any reason buying this where I can get a larger oven at a slightly higher price. For a cooking appliance, size matters. Therefore, I would like to get the bigger one.
