Both in one mission?  I wonder why.
What does one cluster have that the other lacks?

... Oh I sorta see.  Too bad the chart does not show how Lucy will cycle 
between the two after the first L5 encounter.  I guess the alternating 
flyby is easier to reach than a permanent orbit in either trojan zone. 
Does it involve boosts on every perihelion??
