I agree with BruceMetras that the AR-2's are definitely the better looking model. After some months of use, the black is wearing off the tops of my MT's and I would have preferred the clean all-aluminum look.
Another point in favor of the AR-2's is that they have a little tab at the rear which is supposed to help tip the pedal up to put your feet in the clips or Power Grips.
You can hardly go wrong with either model. They are well built and made to be serviced, so you should get long service from them.
