Leo is the older brother of the Boa, meaning that it has more firepower and resilience at the cost of speed and size.

The Leo has a heavy slot and 3 light slots and high durability, making it an excellent knife-fighter, support or sniper. Knife-fighter Leo can be Thunder+a trio of Mags, Piñatas or Punishers, support Leo can be Zeus+a trio of GEKKO or Trident+a trio of Pins or Tempest+a trio of Molots. The Leo can also be used in sniper roles, but that would take too long to elaborate. Overall the Leo is more flexible than the Boa in terms of set-ups.

Now, to the Boa. The Boa is a fast medium bot with high resilience, and it's firepower is 1 heavy and 1 medium. It's only efficient role currently is knife-fighter, with a Thunder and Punisher MkII, Taran or Orkan. It can also be used for other roles, but it would make it less efficient.

Overall I would recommend getting the Leo as it can be more flexible, considering that you're not close to getting an Orkan or a Taran. The Leo would offer a high-burst damage knifer with a Thunder and three Piñatas, while for a similar set-up the Boa would require a Orkan, which is rather expensive. But if you like your Punishers and speed, stick with your Boa.

On a last notice, please take note that currently in my league Boas are almost nonexistent, while that Leos are still seeing here and there. That may mean that the Leo would be more viable on the long-term. Personally I would get a Griffin before a Leo, but both are popular bots in higher leagues so get a Leo.

P.S. sorry for such a long comment, I was in a chatty mood.
