Apples to oranges.
Depends what you want - more watts or cheaper per watt.
I'm usually the one to buy quality items for long-term use, but it seems that with few exceptions today's buyers are stuck with unknown makes from big black hole called China. So... Ignore the warranty blurb.
160W @$1.20 per watt is costly, but if you only have room for this one panel - install it and be done with it. Normally, I would choose 100W Poly over 100W Mono. But then again wattage is the king, 100W poly will harvest less energy than 160W mono.
