For some reason, Ben's having to choose between Ester and Kai is so much similar to Mako's experience with Korra and Asami. To be fair, Ben was pretty insensitive to Ester similar to how Mako was insenstive to Asami. Just like Mako, Ben needs to learn to treat girls better.

Anyways, I'm not sure I can say Ben has more history with Kai. Ben only met Kai when they were 10, and Ben hasn't seen Kai until London. Plus their history...wasn't all that great. Ben and Ester only met by chance, and I'm not sure how much he's seen her.
