I have both and I agree, Chachi. They both have their own personalities no matter the sex. Some are more cuddlers and others are more playful and cant sit still. Just as , Chachi said there is lots more options for girl clothes then boys.. the only thing I can think that would deter me from a boy would be , some really feel the need to mark.. but w/ ours we just keep a belly band on. and put pads in them... So for me it really turned out to be a No big deal... He is just a pure sweetheart as well as our 2 girls... I could not depart w/ either one
