from what I think has been established here on the forums... the YD/TH isn't the best chopper.

I'm thinking the SOD will outchop it even at a lighter weight.

they are both going to be tough as nail though.
you mayb be able to get a YH or YG cheaper though.
(idk really)

I would def. go with the SOD.
