PV Logic vs Solara solar panels

I'm working on sizing the solar installation for my yacht, and comparing brands. I'm interested in PV Logic and Solara primarily because I have a nearby supplier that offers these. Delivery times are next day or so and the prices don't seem much higher than the best prices I can find online.

The two brands seem to offer similar performance (in terms of W/Area), but Solara is about 50% more expensive. I was wondering if anyone has experience with these brands, and if they can explain why Solara commands such a premium. Even the PV Logic MHD variant falls short (price wise) of the basic Solara panel. The real question, I guess, is if there's anything wrong with the PV Logic ones, or if they're resistant enough to endure the marine environment. If they're fit for purpose, I'd have no reason to spend extra on the Solara ones even if they're slightly more efficient or slightly more resilient. Not when they cost so much more.
