Not being a musician, I can only state my preference as to which sound was more pleasing to me. The guitar produces a much more pleasant sound.
Visually, well visually I like the shape of the mandolin. Absolutely, nothing else to say on that.

I think it compliments lower and mid toned instruments awesomely, or vice versa  .
Sure its bar quality here, but its an example.

He mentioned "genre hopping". Genre hopping is one of the great things I like about music mashups.

Mandos are tuned the same as violins, whereas Ukes share the tuning with a C6 steel.
The Mandolin that we have come to know in the USA; archtop, Florentine (called F-style) with F holes, was developed by Orville Gibson and refined by Lloyd Loar. The construction is inspired by the violin. Most European Mandos still have flat tops and round or oval sound holes.
