Can anyone help me decide on a convertible car seat? Britax Decathalon vs Boulevard ?

I have found an amazing deal on both of these, putting the Decathalon at 180 and the Boulevard at 209. I like that the Decathalon has adjustable crotch strap and that the Blvd has the wings. I really want others opinions. Thank you!! I don’t care if you have not owned these before. This is my first so all of the info is overwhelming, just want to hear from other mommas!
My LO is 6 months. Tall and skinny- 27in and 16 lbs. Her dad is 6’4 so I’m inclined to think she will be tall (if that matters)

We have the Decathlon and it’s a great car seat. I do like the adjustable strap on the bottom and the shoulder, nice feature.
I have used it with 2 kids now, it’s a great seat.
I don’t think you can go wrong with either really….I would probably just get the cheaper one if it were me.
(The Decathlon does go up to 65 lbs)
We’ve got the Boulevard, and love it! I think the only difference I’ve noticed between the two seats is the decathalon only goes up to 35 lbs maybe? And the boulevard goes up to 65 lbs. My son is 2 and 1/2 and nearing the 35lb mark – so he’s got a while yet before he outgrows the boulevard. We got the seat for him when he was 5 months old. He was probably close to 20 lbs and around 27 inches long. Ours has the adjustable crotch strap – and to adjust the shoulder straps, you just roll the head piece up (it takes 5 seconds adjust). I like the wings by the head, because they seem like the would be more protection for his little head/neck in case of a crash.
They would both make great seats. Very comfy, very safe, really easy to adjust (heavy and bulky though, but they’re really well made and sturdy).
