Well with both boats you are going to get pro wakes. They are both in the big 3 (malibu mastercraft and correct craft)So you know the quality is not an issue. In my opinion is comes down to useablity of the boat, things such as, inside space and layout, storage space, and rough water handling. Turning on both these boats do not seem to be a problem, ive never done a comparison though. Both have spinner racks avaliable also. now pro and cons for both boats malibu: pros: larger rear seating. more tower choices (titan, illision, cf blade, and swoop(i think)) The wedge ( i view it more as a wake shaper, so you can have rampy wake, or a steeper wake) Digital ballast monitoring system. the ballast tanks are now all below the floor. It also has bow ballast stock. It will handle rough water better I belive. We got our lsv(04) with a tower, spinner racks, bimini, basic stero, and turn down exaust(for a quiter ride) all for around 50k Cons: It does not have quite as much storage as the x-star. no pop up carpet(just a carpet cover) Mastercraft: Pros: ALOT of storage. huge bow. more horse power. cons: I know this is debateable, but i dont like having the batwing shaped bow, taking water over that would bring alot of water into the boat. Smaller rear seating area. will be atleast 60k (that is a rough guess, correct me if im wrong) It will also come down to your dealer. who has better service, who treats you nicer, and maybe who is closer. If you are near a cope and mc pheters(mastercraft) /ultimate water sports(malibu) they are good people from what I have had to do with them. Both are kick butt boats, cant go wrong either way. good luck!
