I'm glad that we have all three, but I understand where your coming from. Right now, I own 3 rats (Battle Rat, Howling Rat & Rat Shaker I), 3 Busses (CGFBM, Black/DC GW, and SK), and 1 Dog (Scrapper 6). I've got a Dog Father on order and can't wait. I've found that I prefer Res C on my Rats after buying and selling a M6 and Little Mischief. I'm sure there are those that prefer the Micarta and that's what's great about America, choices:)
