Differences between 2-burner and 3-burner Blackstone 28 inch griddle

Finally getting around to upgrading from the small one with a side burner I got for Christmas during Covid. It is a 17 inch griddle, and I don't use the side burner enough. It is fine for boiling or slapping a pan on it, but if I want something to simmer for a while, I can't seem to get the flame low enough. Plus the whole thing takes up as much space as one of the 28 inch griddles, so I'm going to give the old one to a lady that works for me and get myself a new one.
Looking at these two models:

For those that have one or the other, what's the main difference between the two? I'm assuming you could almost set up different temp zones easier with the 3 burner. My current one just has one burner so the whole thing is all the same temp. I've been doing a lot of meal prep on the weekends, and a larger surface area to cook on would make it faster.

More burners = less variance in temp across the griddle

Look into the Loco line. They have an H burner set up that better distributes heat and other nice features.

We have a two burner and I don't mind it for what we do. A third burner will offer better overall temp control if you're cooking different things. Having more heat distribution will help with an additional burner.

I guess I was sort of looking at it similar to a gas grill. I used to have a larger one with 3 burners, and I could turn the middle and right burners up all the way to sear, and have the left one all the way down on low. If I was doing something like burgers, dogs, sausage etc and wanted to cook a bunch of burgers and have a pack of hot dogs for kids, I would just toss them over on the left side with a lower temp just to heat them up while I was cooking burgers on the right.
My current 1- burner griddle is an H style, so naturally the very middle of the surface stays hottest, but if I've cooked some chicken or steaks, after I sear them in the middle I will move them to the front edge where it isn't as hot when I put the next round on.
