Verdict
Pick Model B if you need the extra 1 mm at the wide end and 2.5 mm at the tele end for slightly more framing flexibility. Model A stays the better choice if you prefer the marginally lighter weight and don’t require the additional reach. Both share the same maximum aperture and price, so the decision hinges solely on focal-length preference.
