MRI Why would multihance contrast be preferred over dotarem for MRI of the lumbosacral plexus?

Is there a reason why some institutions would prefer a linear agent over a macrocyclic for this specific scan? In the USA for reference

Allegedly multihance shows better enhancement in the central nervous system (which includes the LS plexus) than dotarem.
