Default Axe and Blade

I was looking into getting an Axe..but my LHS says they stock, or are going to stock soon, parts for the Blade CP....what are the differences between the two heicopters aside from:

Battery:Nimh Vs Lipo-Obvious advantages there.
Weight:Axe=heavier...Heavier is usually more stable.
Parts: From what Ive read, the Axe parts are a bit pricier.
Cost: Axe is going for about 170 shipped at some places, 200 for the Blade.

From the videos I've seen and from what I've read, people seem to say the Axe is more stable in hover. Not sure if that's true as they're giving one sided opinions..or if there's any truth to it?

If I buy I almost feel like I have to buy from my LHS if they're willing to help me out with advice, etc...But that means it will probably cost me slightly more than I could get it for.
