Outdoor AP selection (AP1572 vs IW3702)

Does anybody have experienced such dilema for selecting outdoor access points? Based on datasheets I don't get any difference between selecting outdoor dedicated 1570 series or industrial focused IW3702 for an outdoor wireless bridge apart form price. Do you have experience with some of them in such conditions?

Regards.

The 1570 has more features and options for outdoor use as a mesh AP: fiber SFP and cable modem interfaces, higher Tx power allowed. I think environmentals may be better but not sure. The IW3700 has smaller enclosure (thinner with mounting holes to place on a flat surface) which is important in the industrial setting where space is a premium. I can see 1570 on a pole as a traditional mesh AP, and IW3700 in a bridge mode on the side of a truck or some other moving equipment.

Cisco folks should weigh in here...
