2K Sealer vs Epoxy mixed as a sealer

I did some searching but couldn't find what I was looking for.
Specifically 2K Sealer vs Epoxy mixed 1:1:1 as a sealer.
If there a big difference is longevity of finished car? I mean will I notice ANY differences is how the DBC and Universal Clear hold up after 10 years of driving the car?
What are the pros and cons of using each as a sealer?
I'm using Turbo primer now and blocking it down. I'll be sealing and shooting base/clear soon. I have both products here, just want to discuss this before I start spraying one of them for the sealer.
Thanks in advance.

Epoxy will give your basecoat better adhesion, I'm sure there are other pros but I can't remember right now.

One con is that at 1:1:1 it's very thin and won't cover many sanding scratches, so your prep work has to be spot on. If you need to denib it you have to wait longer compared to the 2K sealer.

2K sealer is made for speed, can be shot a bit heavier to fill sanding imperfections, can be dry sanded in 20 mins if needed. It's basically made for a high speed collision type environment.

Long term, restoration type of work epoxy wins.
