BD C4 4 vs. DMM Dragon cam 6

I need a bigger cam.
I can get a #6 dragon cam on pro deal for ~60$, but not anything by BD. My question is, do I lose a lot of range going with the #6 dragon cam instead of a #4 BD C4?
I've looked at the charts till my eyes are blurry, but I'm curious if anyone has practical experience to relate as I have never used dragon cams.
Thanks for the snarky, sophomoric, self-advancing responses in advance.

I have both n they feel about the same. I like dragons more for their longer slings.

Theyre both more or less the same

;)

From my experience, i had to double my cam rack for my climbing trip in cali this summer. In europ DMM are 20% less expensive than C4. I have decided to test DMM and bought a green DMM to compare with the green BD. The range is the same one, the sling is larger but i feel the feeling different, not better or worse, simply different. You can do bomber placements with both, poor placements too
But i prefer to have the same feeling with all my cam's, it's reduce the dropping risk and in any case the DMM sling is shorter than a shoulder sling

And finally, i have bought a second C4 rack (except the green for sure). But whatever the brand, the most important is the climber know how!

The dragons and c4's have the same range, different camming angles. I love my dragons they feel like they are put together much nicer than c4's, smoother action, stronger springs, they are bomber cams. Buy them and you won't be disappointed.

The Dmm is a time bomb, as its slung with dyneema. Do you really want to re sling it every two years?

Dmm says their slings are good for 10 years. And yea bear, I agree, camming Angle doesn't matter too much between the two haha.

theres no way on gods green earth the 8mm dragon slings are good for 10 years if you actually use em decently ... perhaps if they are siting in a box

the bad news is that those skinny slings wear out fast and lose alot of strength in the first 2-3 years of even moderate use

the additional bad news is that no where in north america that ive found reslings em ... DMM wants you to ship em back to the UK

the good news is that you can simply replace em with techcord for a few bucks ...

I agree their going to wear out, but I think they meant that as long as they aren't physically destroyed they aren't degrading just over time until 10 years. That's what I took from it. But DMM legally can't resling them after 10 years anyway, so I suppose at 9 years past production would be a good time to send them off overseas hahaha
