What do they operate that would require the bigger capacity?

I prefer the styling of the Versa over the MetroCity. Sampled one of D&G's in Staffordshire which was quick and smooth, better than a Streetlite! Build quality seemed to be a concern, the rubber around the front door came loose during our journey and the bus had less than a week in service!
