Retail office environment choices
I have a choice between
OptiPlex Small Form Factor Plus 7020 - i5 14500 vPro w/without dust filter
https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/desktops/small-form-factor-plus/spd/optiplex-7020-plus-small-ff
or
OptiPlex Tower Plus 7020 - i7 14500 vPro w/without dust filter
Am I correct in assuming the Tower has better cooling by virtue of the larger fans and case? Cooling is a concern as these are in warm environments, running 24/7 operations.
And which would be better for an environment that isn't vacuumed or cleaned often if ever, so dust is an ever present element.
Thanks!

Not necessary, previous small form factor chassis were better cooling with i7 processors due to the air shroud channeling heated air directly toward the rear of chassis. Constantly pulling in fresh air from the front.
If filter is a factor, get the lower cost small form factor and adding a filter to its configurations.
