Suzuki DF50 vs DF60hp - what's the difference

[Corry]

Does anyone know what the difference is between the 50 and 60hp Suzuki outboards. Looking at getting a new 4.2 tinny built, it's rated to 60hp, but they are suggesting to option it with the 50hp. I'm a firm believer of going max HP on any boat, but looking at the specs, they are exactly the same between the two. I'm guessing they are just tuned differently.
Thoughts?

I think the 60 revs a bit higher, so I am guessing it might have a different cam and ECU.

Go the 60hp its lighter by 6kg compaired to the older 50hp and just a little bit faster .

Yeah, I'm definitely a believer of max HP, 60 it will be.
