Strata WX or Active Sky

Question

ActiveSky FS vs StrataWx — which is better for the Fenix?

Trying to decide between ActiveSky FS and StrataWx for MSFS 2024, mainly for the Fenix A320.
I loved ActiveSky back in my P3D days, especially the atmosphere and weather effects it added. I’m also using ChasePlane, but MSFS still feels like it’s missing convincing wind and turbulence.

Flying through a CB can feel like the cloud is just tickling the aircraft rather than something you should actually care about. Even strong/variable winds on approach, while they add some movement, still feel fairly easy to manage.

I’m looking for realistic air movement — turbulence, gusts, cloud turbulence and wind shear.

For anyone who has used both ActiveSky and StrataWx, especially with the Fenix:
Which would you recommend and why?

Thanks!
