Is the Western Star 57X any better than the Freightliner Cascadia?

From my understanding, the 57x is just a reskinned Cascadia. So, people who have driven both, is the 57X any better than the Cascadia? I'm just curious.

In a 2020 Cascadia right now, last truck was a 2019 5700EX.
As far as interior setup/comfort I prefer the Western Star. So much room, interior design actually makes sense for living in, and the bed is HUGE.
But as far as driving and general reliability though I prefer the Cascadia. The Cascadia is comfortable enough on the inside where I prefer it over the western star overall.

Completely different truck; those old 5700EXs were great but the 57X was the replacement and uses the Cascadia bodyshell.

They had the best looking (aero) truck on the.road for.what, one.or.two years and just had to turn it into the hideous fuckin cascadia with a very.slightly different grill. God forbid we have decent looking trucks.

Ahh I thought 57x meant like the 5700 series of trucks

It's the same truck with a different badge.

These too trucks are equally good imo. Had you pictured the 25 freightliner it would have been an answer with more nuances.
