The decision in plain terms
Choose Lite 2.1-Quart Mini if you want the smaller advertised capacity. Choose Dual Blaze 6.8-Quart Smart if the larger advertised capacity fits your batch plan.
The key documented difference is advertised capacity. That difference does not establish a proportionate change in usable cooking area, portions or cooking speed. There is no hands-on performance winner or live-price winner in this comparison.

What could change your choice
Measure the food footprint you need, inspect the manual's clearance instructions and confirm exact-model accessories. Unknown dimensions and coating chemistry are not equivalent to zero or an adverse finding. Current price, stock and personal budget can reverse a specification-based preference.
