From the engine back, each is a totally different tranny.

The powershift gets slightly less fuel economy. It is nearly indestructable, but $$$$ to repair, if it ever does fail. The foot clutch pedal is connected into the transmission shift hydraulics, so there is no dry clutch to wear out. (There IS a clutch on the flywheel connected to a little release lever for cold-weather starting, but it seldom gives trouble.)

The synchro-range uses a dry clutch on the flywheel that eventually wears out when used a lot (loader), and the sychronizers and shift forks in the tranny wear out over time.

It's pretty much a matter of which setup you are comfortable with, as BOTH are pretty darn good.
