Verdict
Pick Model A if you need the longer telephoto reach (80-200mm) for subjects like sports or wildlife and can accept the slightly dimmer f/4.5-5.6 aperture. Choose Model B if you prioritize a faster f/2.8 aperture for low-light shooting or shallower depth of field, and the wider-to-short-telephoto range (28-70mm) suits your framing needs. Both are similarly priced, so the decision hinges on focal length and aperture requirements.
