Diana 350 or 460 What is your preferrence?

Helping out the heirs of an estate who have asked me to help them sell a bunch of RWS rifles. Their dad was a factory rep that carried these new guns with scopes in hard shell cases as he called on sporting goods stores. There are (3) 34's, 54 and a 460. Most have never been fired and look brand new. Two of the 34's are still in their original wrapping and one original box. I doubt if warranty can be depended upon as there is not a retail purchase to verify sale.
I personally have a 350 and trying to decide whether to keep it or swap it for the 460. The 460 averaged about 850 fps with 10.5 gr. Crosman and 1,108 fps with 6.48 gr. Hatsan alloys. Received permission from the estate to swap as long as they get the proceeds. I just don't know what the long term satisfaction is with owners on the 460?
I will also have to determine the price and best site on which to list them.

No experience with the 350 but have a 460 that I consider to be a very high quality air rifle. It is both accurate and powerful.

I found the 460 easier to cock than my 350. My 350 is Vortex tuned and deadly accurate but it was my first AR. Everything I have since is automatically compared to the 350. With only test firing the 460 to make sure it is in good shape, I was surprised that it feels like it could be a great top end gun to keep. I'm not keeping both so i was hoping to get some feedback on comparison.

I've got a 350 PC and a 470th, both springers. I wouldn't part with either. I'd keep the 350 and buy the 460.

JMO, having owned several 350's and 460mags I would take a 460 over the 350 any day! the 460 is way user friendly and easier to shoot accurately! the 350's have a very long stroke in the piston which causes more recoil! and IMO they recoil like a jackhammer! the power difference between these rifles is not enough to justify the recoil of the 350 over the 460, my current 460 is a T06 bought last year and it is the best Diana rifle I have gotten IMO of all the Diana's I have ever owned and it is the only Diana I have left in my AG collection! just my thoughts

Thanks for your input. This is exactly the information I was hoping to receive from someone "who has been there and done that." I just put 50 rounds into a target last evening from the 350 and it was OK to shoot but it now feels like a much rougher shooting cycle than either my D54, HW30 or the 460 I just test shot. You helped me make up my mind. Thanks.
