HPTDC vs HRTC bus from Delhi-Manali - Feedback required

Hello IMers

I'm comparing the HPTDC volvo that leaves Delhi for Manali at 6:30 pm with the HRTC volvo bus that leaves from Kashmiri gate ISBT at 8:30 pm the same day.

On return also the HRTC timings work better (they leave at 4 pm from manali)

There's a marginal difference of fare - both claim to be volvos.
Anyone's taken the HRTC bus? The timings work better as I plan to leave a bit early on a weekday.

I've read through some of the other threads regarding a comparison but would like to know how good the ride is on one vs the other as i need to be back to work upon my return (straight) on monday morning at the end of vacation!

thanks in advance

No difference. Just choose the one whose timing works best for you.
