Up to you, really. Both are getting pretty rare, both are good prices.

Strarf has been made obsolete 4 times now.
First came Bis with extra parts, then Mk2 with other extra parts, and now Mk2 Full Armor Package.
The only ones worthwhile are Bis and Mk2 FAP.
And if the bunch of Bis-exclusive parts are worth the price of that rare Shinki, it's up to you.
Though the white Bis is worth it, because there are no better releases in thar color, as the Mk2 repaint, Ravina, changed it's color scheme.

strarf bis is an updated strarf. Looks better, is built better. has more bits.
strarf is the classic, original. the first.
to me, makes sense to go for the bis (i have black bis, wouldnt trade.)
Now, you MAY want the original for collection purpose-. to each their own.

The thing is, Strarf is way more cheaper and I have the first Arnval to match with.
But I also like extra parts...
Maybe giving Strarf a scythe from Kotobukiya's MSG set would fix it?

My Noir is a Wave 1 Strarf, and my very first shinki... and I would NEVER trade her for anyone else...
Hey, it's your choice... get a Strarf to match your Arnval, or a Strarf Bis for the extra bits, but for a higher price tag.
As for extra parts for if you do get a Strarf (not Bis), there are a ton of sources, Kotobukiya MSG, gunpla armaments, Frame Arms, LBX, Armored Core... the list goes on.

Thanks everyone. I've made up my mind.
