The Ha solar scopes are the ones that show the surface detail and the proms.
The caK scopes have a filter (not a narrowband etalon) and show the surface in the Blue/UV of the spectrum. Better suited to imaging as the eye (especially in older people) is not very sensitive to that region - the views can be disappointing.
Ha is the way to go!
