Axe hands down. New GS mini aside the Axe is a nicer marker than the Mini and better in the hands. And as for the 'too heavy' comments - seriously? I'm as scrawny as they come and an Axe is not remotely heavy.

I think its more down to personal preference on how it feels in your hands then anything. I upgraded from my original mini to an Axe, then downgrade back to a Mini after my first day playing with it, the only reason was because I preferred how the mini felt in my hands.

I would suggest holding both (with tanks on) and seeing which you prefer, and then if its an Axe go for a second hand one (seen them going as low as £200 :eek:) or if its the mini go for the new Empire GS mini which has the better trigger (y)

I'm picking up a new GS as soon as there available ....Might finally be time for me to get an Empire sponsorship :p

I'd agree definitely get your hands on them both first and see how they feel, as I felt the opposite, preferred how the axe felt out of the two.
