While I personally prefer the Newton Kangaroo, the Almay Kangaroo does have a couple of other things in its favor:
There's no other name for that particular move. The Newton Kangaroo is also called a Hospitaller (and occasionally Princess).
The Hospitaller's rotary counterpart (ND to its NA) is the Templar. The Kangaroo's is the Carpenter (with other names including Scribe, Ouroboros, and Doughnut). In a game with both pieces, Hospitaller and Templar makes the most sense.
But... the Newton Kangaroo has an easy Betza notation (NA). The Almay Kangaroo's move is interesting, but I'm not even sure how it can be notated.
PS: Am I the only one who finds the picture of the tailless Kangaroo disturbing? It looks like some other animal trying to do what a bear does in the woods.
