This is a lighter sportier and I think a big cheaper. I'd go for a 44 too but this would do in a pinch. And I really like that fore utility room, I'd change that bunk for a couch and make it a cosy den.
Clearly Aquila have realized that the refrigeration on the 44 was not enough as this boat has increased capacity, however the 44 is the better boat overall, so Aquila, sort out the refridgeration on the 44 especially with the New Prestige M48 challenging you in this market sector!
The only thing bad with a catamaran is when one engine goes out you can't steer in any direction but with future propoltion systems that don't have propellers just a rudder it will change everything
There are a number of considerations and items that go into boat design from many different standpoints. You can learn more about the 42 yacht here: bit.ly/3wZ8wp7
