Sorry man, but that's not true. I've had both and the wrangler with both hard and soft tops and they are all the same. If you do get a cherokee make sure you check the unibody good. Check around all the mounts for the suspension and check the "frame" rail around the steering box for cracks.
Edit: Here is a pic of my buddy cherokee that cracked at the steering box after a light run in the creekbed.
