Hi Everyone! Been reading forums for months and everyone here is great. First time poster as we get close to purchase. Looking for thoughts/opinions/advice.

A used 16 mondo came in on trade and looks to be in mint condition. The dealer is trying to steer us toward a 2018 carry over axis a 20 for about 8k more.

We've been searching for a 16 or up mondo for months as surf gear is a priority. We looked at the a20 months ago but were turned off by the play pen.

All this being said, does anyone have perspective on pros/cons of each, drastic differences in performance/model years, or just a general opinion on if there is a clear choice?

Thanks everyone for the thoughts, will be a HUGE help!
