Dometic Portable Fridge or ISOTHERM Boating Fridge? vandwellers

Hey guys! I've been doing my research on refrigerators for a while now and have narrowed it down to two different kinds of fridges.

This first one is the Dometic CFX-50W 49 quart Portable Refrigerator. The price on Amazon has fluctuated between $600-700. It is 48lbs and is 9,438 cubic inches. I know this is a popular choice among van dwellers, and originally I was pretty set on this one.

However, I stumbled across the ISOTHERM Cruise 65 Refrigerator, which is built for boats. It holds 68.8 quarts, costs $730, weighs 40lbs, and 7,218 cubic inches. The game changer for me is that this fridge opens from the front, which means I can use the top as extra counter space.

Basically, I am wondering why more van dwellers don't use this refrigerator as an option? It's lighter, smaller, stores more food, has a freezer compartment, and opens from the front. I've seen it used in vans once or twice before, but don't understand why it isn't the most ideal fridge for van life.

If anyone has any insight on this it would be greatly appreciated!!
