Head to head
The better figure on each line is in orange. Where either side has too few boats, we say so rather than pick a winner.
Year by year
Each build year's Gauge Estimate, for the 4 years both have boats in. Pooled across those years (14 and 10 boats), the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 519 asks 10% less than the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 479.
What your budget buys
At £180,000, only the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 519 has a build year within reach.
A year of ownership
Each at its Gauge Value, on a South Coast marina berth, 44 engine hours a year (the median of 103 UK-listed sailing boats that report hours). An estimate in pounds from published rates, not a quote.
Each line is the middle of the cited range, to the nearest fifty pounds. Depreciation is a year of age on each model's published curve, at its Gauge Value, and stays out of the totals.
Neither model has a published depreciation curve, so depreciation is withheld on both sides.
Berth is left out of both totals: for the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 519, no cited berthing figure for that region for a boat of 15 m or more.

How do you compare them like for like?
We compare boats of the same build year. For each of the 4 years both models have boats in, we take the ratio of their median asking prices in today's prices, then pool the years, giving more weight to years with more boats on both sides. The figure is Indicative because the thinner side has 10 boats in those years.
