Envy Prodigy Scooter 2014 vs. Phoenix Session 4.25 Complete

I'm interested in picking up a complete scooter after seeing a lot of college friends having a blast on old Razors. I was told that I should check out some good complete setups, and after reading a few threads and doing some research, I have come up with the two I mentioned in the title -- the Envy Prodigy 2014 and the Phoenix Session 4.25. I'm 5'9", and weigh roughly 165.

I'm curious if the $250 Phoenix Session 4.25 is that much better than the cheaper ($180 as of this writing) Envy Prodigy 2014. I used to use an old Razor scooter quite a bit many years ago, but I'm looking for something that is far better built and will last me a number of years. As a college student the $180 price tag is much more attractive than $250.

I will be using this scooter to ride around campus and maybe do some tricks on. There are no skateparks nearby. Which setup would you recommend for a scooter novice? I feel like the Phoenix is probably better, but am I sacrificing a ton by picking up the Envy Prodigy 2014 in its place?

Thank you!

Biggest difference between the two would be the bar size. The Prodigy has 21.5" high bars and the Phoenix has 25" high bars. Someone your size especially if you're commuting with it would want a little higher bars. I would wait a couple more days before you make your decision though. The new 2015 Envy completes are coming out with your price point and the bars are all at 25" high.

Thanks, I'll wait for the new Envy models and will probably go with one of those. Do these sites have Cyber Monday sales of any sort?

envy is cheaper for sure, but the phoenix will last longer

envy forks snap fairly easy due to the thin design, also you may grow out of the envys bars. but then again you can always replace the parts when they break and youll possibly have spare money to do so after buying it
