I asked the same question about a year ago and ended up with the Parker. The main reason I did was because no one close to me had any G2' s and the warranty on the Parker is better plus the good reputation of Parkers customer servcie. NAAG which owned Buckmasters declared chapter 11 last year and have now been bought by another company. That may be something you might want to think about also. I paid $529 for my Parker which is the lowest price Parker allowed at the time and what most dealers sell them for. I had one dealer that would have sold me a G2 for $350.
