I promise you my 20 year old Sea Drive ain't technologically advanced and that old dog won't quit! If the warranties are the same, spend less. Specific to Mercury motors, I lost a 20' Sea Ox walkaround :o with a 1999 135 Merc, non Optimax. Once the boat was salvaged we immediately pulled the plugs and treated the motor. The motor recovered nicely and I was told by my mechanic that an Optimax would have been toast given its electronics. Long story short, sometimes the simpler the better.
