Around here, the Evo .46NT and TT .46 Pro are the same price...about 80.00

If I had to choose, I'd take the Thunder Tiger .46 Pro for a trainer or a "newbie" to learn on.
Nothing against the Evo's, but for the same $$, IMO the TT .46 is a better engine, has better quality control, and a little lighter too...
(and ya don't have to mess with that stupid baffle in the muffler )
