I know that Desert Eagle .50 is a Monster, and I have taken into account the need for an extra large holster, the weight, bulkiness, delayed draw time, ect. So there is no need to bring this up.

I just want to know why you would select one over the other(The Tokyo Marui Desert Eagle HK .50AE, or KWC's Co2 Desert Eagle .50AE).
Factors on my mind:
I know that most people prefer the use of propane as a bbg gas, and I know the reasons why-I also know that the KWC can be fitted with a propane clip. I know that the TM has a plastic slide, where as the KWC has a metal slide. I know that the KWC Has the ability to go full auto-and also that its is not all that useful. I know that the KWC has a higher velocity due to the fact that its co2.
I have read glowing reviews on both guns, and while there is an abundance of video clips of the TM version available on youtube, I was only able to find a couple of the KWC.
I am currently leaning towards the KWC mostly due to the metal slide, which is somewhere in the range of a 100-200 dollar upgrade for the TM.
Is there really any reason that the TM is better than the KWC-after searching the net for days, reading reviews and threads and watching videos, I haven't found any.

To people that have actually used both, Which kicks harder? Does one slide have a longer travel than the other?

Thanks in advance for any info or advice!
true the KWC has more power than the TM when propane is used and the kwc has all the full auto and co2 jazz. but I would buy the TM for the following reasons:
-high quality
-tight quality control (less chance of getting a lemon)
-plastic slide will not break from prolonged propane use (personal experience + vouched for by many users)
-metal slide not neccessary because the gun is heavy enough IMO
-accuracy and range (+1 for the TM hop-up)
-realistic trademarks
-easy to take down (compared to KWC .50)
-reliability
-IMO i'd get the chrome version (whcih KWC doesn't have)
