Madrid world

In all honesty the Madrid World longboard is just a replica of the plant 2 orange, with a top mount and no bamboo top and bottom. However, that being said I actually prefer this board over the other simply because of the top mounting, just because I like the leverage and control I have over my trucks with a top mount. Although it can be a little harder to start out on I would suggest learning on a top mount over a drop through, and if you already ride drop throughs then investigating the wonderful world of top mounts. The things you can do with a top mount are a lot more controlled than those sometimes squirrely drop thrus when cornering. If you ride a lot of straight lines are don't take a lot of winding slopes then the added stability at speed from a drop thru may be a better investment. Anyways, back on topic the Madrid World is an amazing board and whether you're just starting up, you've been riding for awhile, or you've already been introduced to them learning/riding a topmount can be very rewarding for people that take big corners and hairpins, or do longer slides/pendys that you need more control over.
