Corsairs are just really cool in the lore, Prince Yriel is a fan favorite character, the Kill Team we got is fantastic, and the rumor says they'll come with a new Vyper kit replacing one of the oldest models in the game.

While I also prefer Exodites, Corsairs are also a much easier add. If you want to run 2,000 points of them the rumored kits won't be enough, but some very simple conversions to existing Eldar kits will let you run 2,000 points that look very Corsairy.

Exodites could very well be a Kroot situation, where you technically can run 2,000 points of them but you'll really be feeling the gaps in the range. And adding regular Eldar units would require much more significant conversions if you want your whole army to look Exoditey. So everyone wants Exodites, but there's more trepidation about what that would actually look like. But Corsairs are nothing but upsides

Also, we have rumors that we're getting both by the end of next edition, so everyone wins.
