LPCLink II vs ULINK 2 debug pod

We are considering purchasing Keil tools for Cortex M3.  I have used the NXP LPCLink II in CMSIS-DAP mode with the Keil and it works. 

Has anyone used both the ULINK 2 and the LPCLink 2 on Keil MDK?  Is there a performance reason to spend the extra money on the ULINK 2 pod?  ( $100 for the LPCLink II at Digikey vs $395 for the ULink 2 )
I am not considering the higher end pods, just Ulink 2.  Will not be using ETM or tracing.

Thanks,
Tony

I didn't do any comparison, let alone a benchmark, but my purely subjective impression was that the LPC-Link 2 was very fast, probably faster than an ULINK2.
But not so much faster that it mattered, so I used the ULINK2s most of the time.

BTW, the LPC-Link 2 costs only 20$: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/embedded-artists/EA-XPR-200/EA-XPR-200-ND/4040895
