Capacity is the headline split: the Alen 55 carries 16 guests to the Wally 43 X's 10.
On size, the Alen 55 is the longer boat at 16.80 m LOA to 13.95 m. The Wally 43 X is the quicker boat, 45 knots to 35. Drivetrains differ: the Alen 55 runs ips, the Wally 43 X outboard.
Net of the spec sheet it is a trade: the Alen 55 is the bigger, higher-capacity platform, the Wally 43 X the quicker one. Garage envelope and the missions the boat has to cover should settle it.
