Which is better pulsar 135 or pulsar 150?

First of all, the main distinguishing factor between Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 135 is the cost. Pulsar 150, as the name says, 150cc has more power, pick up and speed when compared to Pulsar 135. But, pulsar 135 has also got the equivalent features of Pulsar 150. (Because of the latest technology) In a nutshell, Pulsar 135 is a lite version of Pulsar 150. And, my opinion, Pulsar 150 is better...
