My experience: Corrugated soles do provide a little less resistance when you get down to a smooth surface. Before that the difference is nil.
Corrugated soles are easier to flatten because there is less metal to take off. This is based on hand flattening, not using a band sander. You cannot determine sole flatness over the internet.
I would not make it a deciding factor in purchasing a user plane, unless all other factors were absolutely equal, and the plane was in the larger sizes. That would be impossible to determine over the net.
There is a school of thought that by corrugating the sole, it made it weaker and more prone to warping. I have not found that to be true, but my experience is limited.
