5" vs 6.5" is going to play into it as well. I have various knives of different sizes and quality. The larger santoku wusthof classic is fantastic (6 or 7")), used for larger items for meal prep and slicing cooked meat. If I'm chopping up onions though I typically go for a smaller knife. Slicing jalapenos that I roasted I'll just grab a small paring knife. 1.5" difference in knife size could mean a considerable difference in usability based on your needs. Spec wise they both look great, both forged vs stamped.
One difference though right off the bat is the hollow edge vs smooth edge of the twin fin. I've never used the twin fin line before but I'd think some things would stick more. Again, it comes down to what you'll be using it on as it may or may not matter. Something like a raw potato will stick more to the twin fin when you're slicing it (one example).
I know they're a small business and I shouldn't expect Amazon levels of turnaround. After all, this is UPS's fault. It does take a lot of the joy out of buying my first nice knife though. And maybe next time, I won't order from them.
