Siblings in Focal's Diva Utopia series, so they share a family sound. It comes down to size, output and price.
| Area | Better | Why |
|---|
| Bass | evenly matched | Much the same reach (25Hz vs 27Hz). |
| Built-in power | A | Focal Diva Mezza Utopia has the bigger amplifier (500W vs 400W RMS). |
| Connections | evenly matched | The same set of inputs and streaming options. |
| Size | depends | Focal Diva Utopia is easier to place; Focal Diva Mezza Utopia is bigger, which usually goes with fuller bass. Your room decides. |
| Price | B | Focal Diva Utopia is cheaper - $39,999 against $69,000, about 42% less; arguably a different class. |

depends neither is better in the abstract - it turns on your room, your system or how you will use them. Only specs published for both speakers are judged; anything missing on either side is left out rather than guessed.
Which should you choose?
Focal Diva Mezza Utopia is ahead, but only on 1 of the measured areas, and it costs about 73% more. That is a lot of money for a narrow margin on paper - Focal Diva Utopia looks like the sensible buy unless something else about the Focal Diva Mezza Utopia appeals to you. Think about the whole system, not just the speakers: the roughly $29,001 saved by taking the cheaper pair would buy a subwoofer or a better amplifier, and either usually does more for the sound than the difference between these two.
And remember what a spec sheet cannot show: how each looks in your room and whether the finish suits it, what dealer support and warranty are like where you live, and how they actually sound to you. If you can hear them first - ideally with your own music - that will tell you more than any number above.
