well I'll take a shot at this. I own a 40 Albin (1983) and have ben aboard several. I have been aboard only 1 Present.
The construction and quality of an Albin depends on which crew in Taiwan built the boat. I would suspect (but don't know for certain) the same may be true about the Present.
Being the boats have "aged" I think it would boil down to how the ones you are looking at have been maintained. How the various owners have kept up with the leaks, decks, etc.
