I was torn just like you between the 2, ended up getting the Versamax Tactical bought it from Shooters Choice. Few things, I haven't gotten to shoot it yet, so I can't really give a review yet. A few points that got me to make my decision was... It was about $400 bucks cheaper then the M2 before taxes. I love the weight and how's it is balanced in my hands, just felt right. The 22" barrel I feel is better for 3 gun and more, rather the short 18" IMO... Came with a few added parts to customize the gun for your needs. I don't think you can wrong with either guns, but so far I am very happy with my buy.
