Tony,
There are advocates for both of these gyros but your "toss up" comment is probably closest to the truth. FWIW, I own both and I don't think you would be disappointed with either one. If you go with the Cortex just be aware that two servo leads provide the voltage for all servos connected to the unit. With a giant warbird, I would recommend connecting a battery directly to the gyro if you go with the Cortex.
I might also suggest that if anybody in your area has experience with one or the other gyro, go with that one. It's really nice to have somebody knowledgeable helping when you first set it up and with initial flights. Lacking that, both gyros (particularly the Cortex) have field reps and folks here on RCU to assist.
