I think....just from those two words....it's a tough call.

"Pure sine wave" is pretty well defined.

but "sinusoidal" leaves wiggle room.....for it not to be a true sine wave.

I would definitely go with "pure sine wave" over "sinusoidal" given the choice.

You're welcome.

It looks like marketing is inventing things again since mathematically speaking, a "sinusoidal" wave is any type of smoothly oscillating wave. A sine wave is a type of sinusoidal.
