They are for two entirely different sailing scenarios. I love gennikars or drifters but you cannot carry them above about 6knots and they do not trim as close to the wind. A 150 can be carried in as much wind as you have crew to handle 12-15 knots and point much higher. If I had a 135 and wanted a light air sail I would go with the Gennaker out of 1.5oz cloth, if I had a 110 I would go with a 150.
