Waves on the current boats (talking about the newer Maki and Mojo, in particular) are very similar (just watch any of the new Wake 9 videos for analysis) in size shape and push. SA being firmer, SL being slightly softer. With the flow 3, the wave is incredibly clean. They just go about producing yaw different ways.
I ride behind both a 2021 SA and a 2021 Mojo on the regular, almost splitting time 50/50 and can say it's very very close.. If you're a good at wakesurfing, it won't make one flip of difference. I have a another friend with a Makai with lead that I would venture to say is better than all of us.
Yes, the 21 Supra SA (200 lbs heavier than SL) is 1k heavier stock than the Mojo (but also has 500 lbs of ballast less stock, so we are talking about 500 las of difference between the two stock. Add 1k in lead, and you are at stock weight of a Supra SA+ 500 lbs. of lead. Both have the exact same engine. The Makai is only 600 lbs less than the SA, but also has 500 lbs more in stock ballast, so almost a wash in terms of stock displacement (~100 lbs).
If chill tech, bells and whistles, heated seats and screens are your thing, but all means go for it. It just comes down to "luxury" I guess. IMO the gap is closing each year and the Moombas now use the same vinyl from the 2018 Supras.
Bottom line, both are quality boats that will serve you well in terms of wave and build quality. Skiers Choice does it right compared to the mass produced competitors (*Ahem*). As always, it boils down to your dealer too.
My opinion, can't go wrong with either, all personal preference.
