Artist vs Zulaport

Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat are functionally identical. Both cost two mana and both have the same death trigger. Cutthroat is better in combat since it's a 1/1 rather than a 0/1 like the Artist. So why is Artist 5x the price of Cutthroat?

Artist triggers on opponents creature death, also. They are not identical in function.

Artist only drains 1 person per trigger vs cutthrought hits every opponent. Jumpstart should knock blood artists price a bit, but print run/ age also affects price.

Also, take into account being a vampire has more advantages than being a human.
