RS II hands down, makes the Hatsan look like cheap plastic heavy toy.
as far as .35/9mm repeaters go (prices approx.)next step up is JKHan Krosa, Noblesse & Grandeur MK2 $900-1000 then Benjamin Armada, Bulldog $1000-1200then Kalibr Cricket $1400then Ataman M2 $1500then RAW 1000 $1900-2000then AAA Slayer $2000+there may be more...
I would also look into the "Ace Precision Titan 9mm". The only problem is that these were hard to find (I hear that more are now being imported).https://m.facebook.com/notes/ausarmscomau/ace-precision-titan-new-6-shot-big-bore-pcp-from-korea/691893750908257/http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=99481.0The Titan is a Korean .357. It is like a Rainstorm, only harder-hitting (about 170 FPE stock), with more air (double tube) and even better looking. It costs a little more than the Rainstorm and a little less than some other .357s, so might be a sweet spot for you.
One more thing about the Ace Precision Titan is that it apparently gets an insane number of shots for a .357 at respectable power levels... about 21 shots at 120-150FPE. This puts it in a different class (shot count with power) from a lot of the .357s.

I have mine set up for 3 mags (21+ shots) with with an avg of 770fps(w/JSBs) for approx. 110 ft lbs. If a serviceable dealer handled Titans i'd consider one until then i'd wait.

If a serviceable dealer handled Titans i'd consider one until then i'd wait.I would choose the Ace Titan over the JKHan. After about 20 shots, the Titan isn't just averaging 110 FPE (meaning that some shots will be lower than 110FPE)... the Titan's weakest shot after 20 shots still has more power than that.Check out this link: http://www.airgunnation.com/topic/got-a-new-hottie/One quote from that link is => " I fire 18 shots of JSB 81 gr pellets and it peaked at 940 fps on high and after 18 shots it was still around 915 fps. I didn’t want to waste more pellets so I stopped there."... that 18th (!) shot from a single fill was 151 FPE (!) with the 81 grain JSB. With a heavier slug, this gun would produce even more power in stock form. It's quite a gun. Somebody just needs to get their act together and import these things...
