Which is better for a small apartment?

The 4.5 ft fir fits tighter spaces and weighs about 5 lb. The Casabay is also a slim pencil shape, so it works in a corner if you have 6 ft of ceiling clearance.

Is the Casabay worth $4.50 more?

Yes for most shoppers. You get 1.5 ft more height, 350 more lights and 8 lighting modes for $44.99 versus $40.49.

Which has more lights?

The Casabay, with 500 lights against 150 on the 4.5 ft fir.

Which is easier to store?

The fir, at about 5 lb in 2 hinged sections. The Casabay is taller and its weight and section count are not published, so expect a larger box.

Can I change the light color on either tree?

No. The fir is listed as multicolor LED but also as white light color, and the Casabay is warm yellow only. Neither offers color switching.

Both use fire-resistant PVC and hinged branches, so build life is similar. The Casabay's 500 lights mean more bulbs that can fail over time.
