The cable steering is objectively superior. Under high load the frames of these bikes flex and bow over the bumps, actuating the pushrod steering mechanism back and forth back and forth. Cable steering is immune to this unusual wobbly effect.
It's not that big of a deal and it really only happens when the bike is heavily heavily loaded.
