Questions behind this comparison

This is usually a trade-off between premium positioning and household fit.

Is St. Kitts better than Antigua?

Not universally. It can be better for applicants who value program reputation strongly, but not always for families comparing total cost and structure.

Why do families often consider Antigua?

Because Antigua can look more balanced once spouse and dependants are part of the real application model.

Does St. Kitts justify the higher cost?

For some investors yes, especially where optics and perceived program maturity matter materially.
