Micro scooter - c?Cruiser or Sprite?

Soon to be 5 year old (December birthday) is currently 110cm tall, and probably could do with a new scooter come birthday/Christmas. Perfectly capable of riding a bike without stabilisers etc so i thought if I get a good quality, proper 2 wheel scooter, it can last until 11/end of primary that kind of age. So a good 5+ years.

Have been spoiled by Micro brand, currently has a mini and it's brilliant. Rolls better than others netc. So kinda stuck on in the brand (but not 100% happy to be swayed)

Have you any experience if the pros and cons of each?

My 6yo has the sprite with the light up wheels, she likes it but we didn't try any others.

How is it for bumpier surfaces?

Fine she was a bit cautious at first but she's used to it now.

The Cruise has mich bisher wheels, which means a) you don't fall as easily when going over a small obstacle that will block smaller wheels, and b) it's more energy efficient - you go faster and further with it.

If it's meant to be a toy - either is fine. If it's meant to be a mode of transport eg for getting to school, I'd get the Cruise every time.

We are a scooting family with 6 scooters between us. 5 of them by Micro, the other rarely used. One of our Micro scooters has small wheels, it's great for stunts etc but can't keep up with the others when going somewhere.
