hi Skot
i have shot both rifles you require
and from personal experiance,i would wait for the HW98,i have a few isusse's with my TX's at the moment,but this hasnt swade my decision,and if i am not happy after my last attempt to rectify this,then HW98 it is for me for the HFT or a AAFTP900
However i shall keep one of my TX's for Vermin control,as they are a very accurate springer,and if you look hard enough, the odd left hand stock pops up from time to time
my advise is wait for the hw98 then later buy a TX
