I have killed deer with both heads, and I like them both a great deal. My personal preferance is the Gator XP, mostly for the larger cut. The snypers however make a larger entrance wound. The Gators are a little more "user friendly" in my opinion as well. To be honest though I don't think most hunters will see much differnce between the two heads on game, espeicaly if they are shooting medium to heavy gear.
