Which should you buy?
The Core 600S is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 10.6 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the Core 600S if you care most about cadr and coverage. The biggest gaps in its favor are cadr, coverage, min noise.
The C909 similarly doesn't carry a headline advantage on the popular specs — look at the full table for category-specific deltas.
