MJ21194 vs. MJ21196?

The spec's seem the same. The SOA is stated in datasheet as being higher on the x96 but the curves and numbers don't really corroborate.

The functionality curves are somewhat different, and to my uneducated eye, look more uniform/desirable on the x94 devices.

The MJ21196's are cheaper.

So, is there any general preference or advantage of one over the other for use as output transistors? :xeye:

Any advice here?
