I’ve narrowed down my choices to these two and I honestly can’t choose. Both seem to perform very well and look outstanding. Anyone know how they stack up against eachother? ---

I didn’t care for the AC. Though I’d love to try the lighter version. It was just a little too ‘compact’ for my tastes. I’d go with the Code2. Cheaper, customizable with Side Effects, and an amazing player. Not to say they both aren’t good though 😛 Can’t go wrong with a Code2, though. ---

I have plaed both and I like the code2 much better. The AC just was to heavy and “compact” (as LinksLegionaire used) is a perfect description of what it feels like. Code2 is much cheaper and a better all around performer in my experiance. ---

CODE2 all the way… I will say though I own a “lighter” AC and I love it!!! But for an all around better throw I prefer the CODE2… ---
