For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Manitou Pontoons 20 Osprey Pro 2008 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Manitou Pontroon Boats Aurora 2012 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Manitou Pontoons 20 Osprey Pro 2008 could be the deciding factor.
