Electric Kettles

What is the difference between the Breville IQ Electric Kettle and the Smart Luxe Electric Kettle?

The Breville IQ Electric Kettle and Smart Kettle Luxe are very similar, but the Smart Kettle is a bit larger and has a matte black finish with a one piece machined chrome handle.

Do the kettles have different water temperatures for different types of tea?
