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 most consistent choice for bitcoiners: the same hardware as our Safe 5 test winner, but with minimal firmware. If you only hold BTC, this cuts your exposure without costing you anything in usability.
