Mentioning that wamp is 300k larger than xamp without mentioning why it's larger makes it sound like the extra size is useless. It is worth mentioning that wamp comes with 4 or 5 versions of php and you can change them in a second from the wamp menu. This is a huge time saver if/when you are working with web apps that require different php version requirements. Or if you're upgrading a web app to support a different php version.
