Why an F250 over F350 6.7 Diesel Crew Cab

Given both truck would be SRW, why pick a F250 over the F350. The price is very close and just wonder what am I missing?

I have always picked the F350 in the past when I plowed snow, but I am no longer plowing.

    I don't understand this as the trucks height seems to be the same at cab height. ??

    “what am I missing?”

    Payload, max tow weight, rear axel capacity etc.

    We had a 250, but our 5th wheel maxed out the weight load. When we found a good deal on a 350, we went for it. Now we tow a lot more comfortably. I think the only difference, besides the price, are the springs. It can carry more.
