| Well, first of all to properly compare apples to apples you need to compare a 10s Trex600 with a 10s Razor. A similar comparison could be made with the nitro Trex600n and nitro Razor.
In both cases I think you'd find, and most would agree, that the Razor feels a bit more solid, mainly due to ~0.5 lb higher weight, but the Trex600's will be a bit more agile.
The Razor is probably a bit more maintenance-free. I have over 150 flights on my 10s Trex600e and I have had to tighten/replace a few links to get rid of slop, but for the most part it has been trouble-free, esp with the torque-tube tail. I certainly have not had any problems with the stock swashplate. Both are very reliable heli's but if you want/need a maintenance-free ride, the Razor might be a better bet for you.
Both my Ion-x's have over 150 flights each and the only maintenance I've had to do is apply a bit of tri-flow before each flying day.
Best bang-for-buck? It's a pretty hard call, and many will have different views. Imop I think a 10s Trex600, with a few upgrades like TT tail and metal main blade grips, is marginally better value and spare parts are very quick, easy and cheap to get.
Probably a personal-preference-thing and you really cannot go to far wrong either way. The most important thing imop is to stay away from a 6s setup in both cases and go 10s.
Cheers,
