Is There Difference Between 63 and 69 inch Solera Smart Arm RV Awning Conversions

Question

Question:

May seem like a silly question but other than the overall arm length, what is the difference between a 63 and a 69 inch arm set? Does the 69 inch set extend longer or is stronger? Currently have a 8x17 awning.

It really comes down to the available vertical area on the RV where you plan to install the awning if the 63 inch # LC759404 or the 69 inch # LC759405 is a better fit. They both extend out 8 feet so the shorter arms would have a more flat projection if anything.
