Help with new mech setup choice

[Frankenclyde]

Hey guys, I'm going to be purchasing a new setup Friday and am stuck between a SS 4nine with SS mephisto, and a black copper akuma with black tobh v2. Any input on the mods/attys would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have a black akuma clone. The button and lock ring were really wonky. I tore it down, cleaned and polished everything with Flitz. Removed the magnets and put the included spring in and its perfect now. I use only the 18500 tube, to use a 18650 requires two tubes. Those tubes don't line up very well, the seam leaves edges. So I don't use it. Otherwise in the 18500 mode I really dig it.

Hmm that may be something for me to think on, who cloned your mod? The one I'm looking at is an acerig.

I believe it's acerig. It didn't say but I think acerig is the only one that includes a cloned wooden box.
