Magnetron vs klystron

What are the differences. What are advantages/disadvantages of each?

Magnetron: Produces microwaves with v=3000 MHz, orginally used for radar and microwave ovens, operates at about 2 MW peak output, typically used to produce electron beams up to 15 MeV. MAGNETRON MAKES MICROWAVES

Klystron: Microwave amplifier driven by a low power microwave oscillator, operates at a peak output of 5 MW. KLYSTRON "Carries" MICROWAVES.

KLYSTRON is perceived to be more durable but is more expensive.
