Differences between Tartarus Pro and Orbweaver Chroma?

So, I want to buy myself a keypad. I noticed that their prices are pretty similar, but there are some big differences, like the Tartarus Pro being opto-mechanical, while the Orbweaver is just mechanical. So, what features does the Orbweaver Chroma have that justify a price similar to the Tartarus Pro? Just the adjustable parts? Or am I missing something?
I am thankful in advance for any answers.

Pretty sure you can open two browsers and do a straight comparison of the two, no?

The clear differences are as follows:

Thumb stick / top button / space bar button shapes and keys are different
Palm rest is more padded on the TP, whereas on the OC it's flatter and lower profile
Analog optical switches on TP; mechanical on OC.
32 programmable keys on TP; 30 on OC.
Scroll wheel on TP; no scroll wheel on OC.

That about covers it. The TP is more or less a significantly revamped/revised Nostromo with Chroma and some newer features and an extra row of buttons. The OC takes that a step further by changing the shape and using mechanical switches.

You're welcome.
