Do I NEED the Polaris Alpha IQ+ or will the Dolphin Explorer E30 do the job?

Pool Stats:
  • Inground - 18' x 33' Rectangle
  • Gradual slope from 3' to 7'
  • Plaster
  • 3 stairs on shallow end running entire width of pool
  • No features/other platforms
  • Currently using pressure side Polaris which has been giving me problems for months.
  • Surrounded by lots of trees - pine and leaved
  • Ducks frequent it in the spring - lots of poop

Of course I WANT all the cool features of the Alpha but for half the price I can get the Explorer E30.

Outside of the wifi and app features - what is the difference in performance?

Will either of them do my stairs?

My primary concerns are performance and scrubbing ability. In the spring I get a ton of pollen, cottonwood seeds, and duck poop. In the fall it's lots of leaves and pine needles. I have a tile waterline that I would love to have scrubbed good so I don't have to do it.

All input is appreciated!!
