Default Two Fender Princeton amps

I need a new amp. So far, I pretty much have choices narrowed down to the two Princeton amps in the links below. For the most part I really am an acoustic player--guitar, dobro and banjo. I do however have a lap steel (Lap King 6 string) made by luthier Jason Dumont. It has custom wound Lollar pickups. I very much enjoy playing this instrument. I recently had the use of a friend's Princeton Reverb for the last couple years. It was an older one--I think probably from the early 70's, but not sure. My friend just bought an electric guitar, so I've had to give the amp back. It's all good. I was happy that I got to use it. Also played bluesy kind of stuff with another friend and used his Blues Jr. I like both amps, but prefer the Princeton overall. I really do not know much about electric guitars and amps. I have looked at many youtube videos to help me make a decision. Regarding the two Princetons below, can anyone tell me what might be the difference and/or advantage of one over the other. I know that they have a price difference and look different. And 12" speakers: One has a Jensen and one a Cannabis Rex. I realize that its also an subjective issue of personal taste. But I would appreciate any insights regarding these amps. I should add that I live in a rural area and it is hard to try things out live without long travel. Thankful for the internet and any help.
