Another difference is that since Suica is made by JR it works also on Icoca systems, Pasmo doesn't.
The penguin is very "majikawaiindamon", but the platypus is "meccha badass".

Oh ok I get it now. Like the pitapita card in Osaka is kiiinda like that, EXCEPT...I believe it's a POST-paid system, in that you hook it up to your bank account and they take out what you've used each month. Which sounds like a) a hastle, and b) another bill.
And omg that suica card!! Been in japan too long when you think 'omg cute limited edition!! want!!'
But see the penguin looks kinda lalalaaa but that platapuss is one tough cookie, you can tell!
