this is funny, casue a friend of mine is trying to sell his proto to get an alias. But I say alias. The proto isn't a bad gun, but I think the alias is better
assuming youll get an UL with the money you save on the proto id get the proto. but thats just me, really you and your friend should head down to the field and shoot both, at that price range it is purely personal preference.
when you hold protos they are light, comfertable, and fast. but they seem to crash under certain types of weather. i would get the alias over those two but i agree with barber id take a dm5 over both
