Mendota FV 33i, vs Montego Illume 43 FIV

Have it narrowed down to these two. Which is both easier to operate, less fussy, fewer repairs, better flame (I'm assuming Mendota on this one; we're going to look at the Montego later on today. Can't find much on line about the Montego.

We had a Jodul woodburner at the last place. loved it. Condo living (1,800 sq ft), is pushing us to gas.

Thank you in advance for your opinions!
