(arkym has 3 teeth; tom's has 4)





stuck between the two!

thanks.

Each member will have his or her preference, but you can't really go wrong with either. Both look stunning, as they are CF, and it boils down to what you want to achieve in terms of a look. Personally, I've seen both and I know more people who have the Toms than the Arkym. My personal pick would be Toms, however. Best of luck!
