Default Hobbywing eZrun 18A VS Speed Passion Emotion esc

I have been looking for a new esc, and i`m stuck between the hobbywing ezrun 18a esc and the speed passion emotion esc

are there any differences in the specs or are they the same just different sticker on the box?

hobbywing costs about $55 and the sp about $110, (including a motor in both cases) knowing that hobbywing is the manufacturer but cant see what makes one better than the other?

Just get a Sidewinder Micro. 25A capable, castle link programmable, and a great warranty, to boot. Plus you can find it for under $55.

i already have one i want to try something new, and reading about hw/sp speedos in 1:10 they seem to be really good, so want to try them out in 1:18

plus that the programming box seems to make everything much easier, i dont have to bring my laptop when i want to change the settings.

Hobbywing makes the Speed Passion ESCs and at about half the cost the eZRun will do the same exact thing the emotion will do. Here is my Hobbywing 18A system:
