Question regarding Oticon vs Widex for specs comprehension

I am trialing a new pair of Widex dream 440s right now and have worn the same kind for 7 years and asked my audiologist which she thought was best for speech comprehension because of course that is the most important need with hearing aids and she said there are about the same. She said because I am used to Widex that I should probably just stay with that brand but I don’t care to change brands. I just want to be able to understand my 6 year old granddaughter. And that was becoming more difficult with the older Widex I had.
Last week I had to have an adjustment and saw a different audiologist and asked her the same question and she said hands down the Oticon is better for speech comprehension so now I think I should trial them even though they are quite a bit more expensive and I’m not sure which Oticons they are.
I would like options from you all because you all know so much more about these things than me and I would appreciate any advice you could give me.

Sorry this is so long and thank you.

I do not have a Costco anywhere near me or I would definitely go there. The prices at the Audiologist office are extremely high but I do want whatever hearing aid will allow me to hear the best I can so I am willing to go in debt for them.
They told me the Oticon will be about $5500 and my insurance will pay $2000 of that.

I’m not even sure which Oticon she was talking about but I’m going to call tomorrow and find out.
So you would suggest the Oticon intent 1 if I am in noisy situations a lot?

Even if your audi didn’t mean the Oticon Intent but was referring to the older model like the Real, I would still push your audi to get the Intent over the Real if I were you, because the Intent has a number of very major upgrades over the Real and many people have reported a significant enough difference between them to make it worth pushing for the Intent, unless you can get a super killer deal on the Real, which I highly doubt you can at this point because Oticon would rather sell you an expensive Intent rather than a very cheap Real anyway, because their production cost of goods for the hardware is peanut compared to their retail price for it.

It’s hard to recommend a tier level of the Intent to an individual because there’s no telling how that individual can handle noisy places, and everybody is different. For example, even if you’re in noisy places very often, but you’re good at being able to handle the noise, the tier 2 might suffice. The problem is that you don’t know unless you try it. One option is to ask your audi if they’re willing to let you try the 2 and upgrade to the 1 if you don’t find the 2 good enough for you. Otherwise, if the price difference is not a big issue for you financially, I’d just get the 1 and be done with it.

I thought maybe I misunderstood so I called and asked and she said they were moments 440s so hopefully that makes more sense.
