Advice if taking the boat to Uruguay from BA

I noticed from Buquebus webside: that there are 2 types of boats, I can't recall the times but one is much faster than another. Same annoyances apply?
Also a flight to Montevideo is only $40US more, might worth it.
So, Montevideo, is it worth a visit from BA?
Thanks, as always good info from you, mate

I would say save the extra 200 pesos for sandwiches and beer! The time wait is the same as for an international flight more or less.

I went to Colonia, but I hear great things about Montevideo. I was on the Seacat which is the faster of the boats but in my opinion they are much of a muchness. Also note that some exact same items that were 25 pesos off the boat with the same company in the terminal were 32 pesos on the boat .... I was sure duty free worked the other way!

I found all the people in Colonia super friendly and the beaches ok if the weather was nicer.
