Beginner motor advice

Is it higher powered, or are you equating a higher kV to higher power, which isn't necessarily so. 

The cheaper motor is a smaller can length, which would normally indicate lower power (ultra simplistic, I know).

The acid test is the maximum amps which the motor windings can operate at and the size of prop which it'll turn.

In the case above, the larger kV motor will be limited in what prop you can use, assuming that the same battery is used.

If you look at the full specification for each motor, the more expensive one is rated at 125 watts, the cheaper one is rated at 115 watts, so the dearer one is slightly more powerful.

The kV figure simply tells you how many rpm the unloaded motor will rotate at for each volt applied to to it by the battery.
