Pumas are far cheaper, but require merit. In a way, they are rewarding players with friends.

Stat-wise, the Light Tank is beefier in terms of health and armor, but the Puma has slightly better defensive stats, like dodge and security. "Fast" might play a role too, but not totally sure. Lastly, the Light Tank gets a second attack to help deal with infantry (who have higher defense compared to the tank cannon's low offense = miss!)

In my opinion, the Puma's defensive capabilities will help it survive longer in PvP against other tanks. More tank shots will miss it, and maybe, just maybe, enough Tank Killer rockets will miss to allow it to live. Not likely luck for a Light Tank :P
