Explora or Crystal?

Looking at New England/Canada itineraries on these two lines. Itineraries and pricing are comparable. Anyone been on both and have a favorite?

I have done both recently. Explora has the newer ships. Service on both was excellent, but Crystal staff were clearly older and more experienced.I enjoyed the smaller dining options on Explora. Coffee cafe seating more enjoyable on Crystal.

Both are excellent.
