Sir, you leave a lot of variable open to give any good answer. What one man says, another may see different. Air guns are a lot like that with men. Not all prefer blondes.
I saw you didn't like the ping of the hammer on the Edgun I can understand not liking it. A tuner could silence those harmonics down to an acceptable point for you.
In .25, with what you've stated, I'd pick whatever rifle is most easily adjusted, serviced first. After accuracy of course but that's a game you, rifle, and many pellets must play. If all is as should be, both of your choices should be just fine for fun shooting.
If you aren't going to service your rifle yourself, I fully understand. I'm not advocating that anyone do so. The adjustability though is a huge selling point for me with current rifles. The ability to change reg pressure externally, Constrict or open the transfer port. Adjust the hammer spring pre-load, stroke length, switch out springs for a wider variety. All of these options mentioned take a rifle that say could have only shot the heaviest pellets accurately, to turning it into an all around rifle that can now shoot many more pellets that owner would see do best at faster or slower speeds.
The adjustability, externally, 2 gauges, one for regulator, one for tank fill pressure. Huge plus I want on my next rifle if purchased new, or maybe even one like that used comes up.
At least you have it narrowed down to 2 rifles. There's about 6 I'd love to try, more really. I don't need to own 6 more rifles, nor maintain them. I want one or two for anything I could need it for, and a good compressor. If I'm correct, The Impact/Crown series was the most adjustable rifle. Now, The Daystate Red Wolf maybe the most versatile. I myself find Brococks new rifles very appealing with their increased power & dual gauge reg on board out of the box rifles.

I would love to try a Brocock Commander and have considered it about a month or so ago but read mixed reviews about their accuracy using the magazines and I do intend to buy repeating guns to make full use of their magazines without having to single load them for long distance accuracy.
If I were a dedicated single shot accuracy nut as a few airgunners who really are, then I would have already bought a Brocock.
When I saw Giles on his video show who specifically stated to single load them if you want to shoot for accuracy, then that was just it for me.
At least that made me really believe that he wasn't a paid sponsor for Brocock in that case.
At least with the Wildcat they shoot just fine with the magazines with only the regulator and o-rings that need to be worried about.
I especially love the Wildcat triggers. I own 2 of them at the moment.

Am a air gunner meaning I take them apart and tune them am not scared of adjusting them but I have 14 different airguns and I have sold a lot of them the only ones I never had are the Commander and wiled cat I went to AoA today to shoot the commender and I did not like how loud it was for a 25cal it's very loud I have Hurd a lot about the single shot try is the only way to go on the commender so I ant getting the commender now but I am now likeing if the brocock sniper lite it's nice to shoot and you get a lot of shots with it but again I am just tired of the bottle like on the impact it's very similar looking. So I said all that to say it's the wiled cat mark 2 for me thank for all advice. John
