Verdict
Both providers are practically level in our overall rating (4.6 to 4.6).
Alongside Trezor's Bitcoin-only devices, this is the first choice for Bitcoin purists in Europe – Swiss build quality, open source and a minimal codebase.
The best-looking hardware wallet on the market – and the most expensive. If you want the finest handling and price is secondary, the Stax will not disappoint; in purely functional terms, the far cheaper Nano series protects your keys just as well.
