Verdict
Pick Model A if you need the extra reach (85 mm) and wider starting focal length (15 mm) for versatile shooting, especially in well-lit conditions. Choose Model B if budget is a priority and you prefer a brighter constant f/2.8 aperture for low-light performance or shallower depth of field within the 17-50 mm range.
