Apples vs crabapples?

I was reading recently and the guy was saying he prefers apple trees over crabapples or apple crabs because the apple tree, all things being equal, would produce more volume or more poundage than the other two. I always assumed this not to be true, I assumed if a apple crab fruit was half the size of an apple fruit then that apple crab would produce twice as much fruit and the volume or mass would be about the same. So for an example a crabapple would produce 800 apples to equal a bushel and regular apple would produce 150 apples to make a bushel in a given year. What do you guys think?
