From Elite Dangerous Wiki

Also, there's "trip to Colonia" and then there's "exploration" and for the later, any jump range sufficient to reach Beagle Point - which 39ly is basically the minimum (it's actually 38.something but whatever) is enough.  The whole point of explortion is to find cool stuff.  You'll find half as much cool stuff in your 78ly Jumpaconda as you will in a 39ly Clipper,  That's just math.

Also, yeah, the screenshot factor and the dashboard factor are important, but I'll add in a third hidden stat: the view.  With an Anaconda half your damn screen gets eaten up by the ship itself.  While I'd argue no ship has a better view than the Krait Phantom, the Imperial Clipper and the Dolphin (my other favorite ship) are very close seconds.  Both have the cockpit placed forward, and both also have a very wide open vertical view.  I don't use VR, but I can imagine the difference between a Conda and the Clipper is even more pronounced with a headset.
