12"L7 or 15"L5....which would you pick?

Hey guys I'm trying to decide on a sub. I'm looking for SPL but able to play higher freq for some rock and rap songs. I've narrowed it down to a kicker solo baric I think. I'm using a MTX 1501D amp (1500rms at 1ohm, 1000rms at 2ohm). I can't decide on these 2

12 inch Kicker L7 solo baric or a 15 inch Kicker L5 solo baric. Both have the same rms power rating. Which do you think would be better?

Hopefully you won't be running 1500watt rms on an 12" L7 daily... (make sure you get a D4)

But either way... L7 fo sho. Preferably a 15" @ 1500 (D2) rather than a 12" @ 1000 (D4).

But idk if a 15" L7 will be able to take 1500 daily... I'm pretty sure, but I need a second opinion.

ran 1 12in L7 daily off 1200 watts, on some songs had to turn the volume down a little but it could handle it
