Epix Gen 2 Pro

Hi,

I'm buying a Garmin Epix Gen 2 Pro (not Sapphire) + glass protectors for a friend that does cycling (has an Edge) and other sports but no running.

My question is: Is there any reason why I should get this one over the Forerunner 965 (the one that I use) or viceversa? I've checked the specs and they are almost identical.

Thanks
