The Alphas are like a workman's tool, I use to cut anything without fear of breakage. The sharps are for precision. I've had the alphas for 8 years and the Sharps for 4 being replaced once after 4 years.
I've used the God Hands before and they are really great but you must understand they are a high precision tool and therefore somewhat fragile. They don't break easily, but they will break and/or dull before your average $30 nippers.
Personally I would spend the $60 for God Hands on two less expensive nippers and upgrade to the God Hands in the future when you want to do single cut builds or feel more experienced in model kits (for example never cut clear plastic runner with God Hands).
I ended up grabbing the Godhands, they were $40 with free shipping. I've heard that this particular pair is a little less ultra-precise and a little more durable, so I'm hoping that they hold up. I do have another pair that's more of a workhorse pair. They're great for clipping the runners, but they leave stress marks when I cut off the nubs.
With these SMP re-releases and the Ideon that I just picked up, I want to make sure that my "rare" kits actually turn out well. I'm about 20 kits deep, so I think I'm ready.
