The Beneteau Figaro 2 2003 vs Beneteau Flyer Gran Turismo 44 2012 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Beneteau Flyer Gran Turismo 44 2012 measures 44,3 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 10,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Beneteau Figaro 2 2003 at 33,4 feet (2003).

That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 20 hp for the Beneteau Figaro 2 2003 and 2 hp for the Beneteau Flyer Gran Turismo 44 2012. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Beneteau Flyer Gran Turismo 44 2012 carries 106 gallons versus 11 gallons in the Beneteau Figaro 2 2003. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
