At a glance
The Proto2 is noticeably lighter and uses premium materials, but the Blackout Gold Lite is way more affordable and offers a hybrid kick point that suits more shooting styles. If budget matters and you want flexibility between quick releases and loaded shots, the Blackout Gold Lite is hard to ignore at less than half the price.
