To be honest the Robbe and the Engel kits are not really comparable and, as always you get what you pay for. The Robbe kits are considerably cheaper but are only dynamic divers straight out of the box. To make them into static divers requires quite a bit of modification and upgrading. However for a first time model they are excellent value and can be upgraded with detail according to your pocket.

The Engel kits require very little else to produce a stunning model ready to static dive, but you have to pay for it. The big advantage is that you get everything in the kit and it all goes together out of the box.

It all depends on what you can afford and what you want but you really cannot say one is better than the other, as they are quite different products.
