Ok , this is a partisan opinion only. All guns in this comparison all really good guns. So no offense intended, but , as I see it the east rocks this group of guns. Here it is; EAST - Taipan, Edgun, Zbroida , AGT , Kalibrgun , Evanix , SPA. And the West - FX , Daystate, Brocock , Benjamin, AEA , BSA , Air Arms. You all get the idea. While the west gives smooth elegant performance, you pay big on a lot of it. Comparatively the east block guns offers relatively cheap POWER and rugged durability in a simpler designed package. Which to me , earns the advantage.
