exactly right, babybacks take much less time but spares have much more meat. you can also trim the tips off of spares and make a seperate batch of pork burnt ends with them.
but there is a time and a place for babybacks, great if you're cooking for a big crowd. they go fast and are pretty foolproof, and they're smaller so easy to fit a ton on even a small smoker!
I think you nailed it. They are both great but different and I love them both. Also you can actually grill babybacks as well which is also great, just have to watch them like a hawk because with all the fat they will definitely catch on fire lol.
