The 5.2 should be faster

The 5.2 is rated 72.1 on the portsmouth scale while the Sol Cat is 74.3. That will make for a fun close race. In all honesty it will hardly be noticable. But the slightly more modern 5.2 might be easier to sail to that rating than the older Sol Cat. But that is purely just my guess.

Both boats should be a blast.
