glatt - it's really just a case of the various different properties of differing varitities
My beloved Gravensteins are only really good in season, but Macs can hold up well for a year...
Also there's the texture to begin with - some are better for cooking, some are better for eating, some are really only good for juices, and some do a decent job of more than one thing.
It's all about the varietal and what it's been bred for... kinda like dogs - ya don't send a chihuahua in to do a wolfhound's job
