[ASK] The Original Keyshot vs Moonbeam

So here's the deal, my friend got a chance to get his hands on two rare blades, Butterfly Keyshot (Original, not the light version) and Butterfly Moonbeam. As far as I know these two are very rare and hard to find. He is lucky to find them in a small local sport store, still new in the original box.
The thing is the price the store owner want for them are not cheap and he can only afford one of the two. He needs some advice, but he cannot find anybody using these blades anymore so he does not know which one suit his game better, maybe we can get some advice here?

So that brings us to the question:
1. If you have the chance to pick one from the two, which one will you choose: The Keyshot? or The Moonbeam?
2. and, Why?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

ps: He is torn between Keyshot/Moonbeam, but he said that the store also has one original Butterfly Viscaria. Is this also a good blade?

Wow, that is a good sign if top players use it.. What kind of style of play will fit the Keyshot? Is it for more attacking play or allround play? I can't seem to find a link to the blade rating anywhere..

I used both blades before now i have 3 moonbeam.

So it's an ALC blade just like the TBS. That is interesting, maybe they discontinued the blade because they move to TBS?

@ dragon kid it's an arylate blade not arylate carbon.

Tell him to buy both and I will buy the one he dosnt use.

if anyone here still need brand new moonbeam or keyshot, perhaps i still can help...but the price is a little bit high

Yes the price is in brand new old TBS price range
