I am going to get either the meng abrahms tusk or the dragon abrahms M1A2 SEP 3536 (this is the V1 SEP, not newer V2). It will be basically the same price. $5 more for the meng. The dragon is a rerelease, so it will not come with the metal barrel, but I still think the plastic many-part barrel would be easier to build cleanly than the two-part barrel split vertically in the meng.
I would probably not buy an am metal barrel.
But I was wondering about how the other plastic compares. The tusk is a nice bonus, but it isn't absolutely necessary.
So anyone have experience with both kits? I've read good reviews for both.

Just got done reading the Moxing 4 kit comparison. More specifically, the google translation of it, since it was all in chinese. Google did't do so well. Dragon == Veyron. RFM == catcher && wheat field.
Basically, they both look pretty good. Each have their advantages, but can one be said to be more accurate?

By and large and far and away the most comprehensive review of the kit's you want to know about. At least it will be.
