The W6v2 has a more linear motor and doesn't suffer as much from BL compression at high excursions. It won't take as much power to push it to it's limits. The rest of course will depend on what type of enclosure you put either subwoofer in. In the end the W6v2 is the more capable sub, but of course you pay for it.
Power handling is a useless spec unless you take the driver characteristics into account. Take my Dyns for example. There are plenty of drivers that will get a good bit louder off of 50 watts than my Dyns will off of 200.
Output wise they'll be pretty much the same assuming a similar setup, and that's taking the power levels into account. SQ, while subjective, I'd hand to the W6v2 due to the motor and suspension design. It's one of the most linear subs on the market.
