Well, the kits are quite different. I've built the IQSY, but not the D-Region. The IQSY is typical durable Aerotech construction, easy to build, heavier, & designed for 29mm motors, from E to G, 12.5 oz. The D-Region is lighter (9 oz), designed for 24 mm D & E motors, though it can certainly be beefed up for larger motors (see RP article https://www.rocketryplanet.com/content/view/2051/38/). The scale details on the D-Region are better as it comes with a nicely detailed fin can & nose cone; the details on the IQSY are all in the vinyl decals, so it is clearly sport-scale. So, the primary considerations are do you want a low power or mid power bird, how close to scale are you interested in, and how much modification are you willing to do if you want mid-power?Gotcha. Now that I do a little more research I see that. Thanks for pointing it out! I'm leaning towards the Aerotech kit since it's priced at 50% off. Any reason to go with the Estes instead?
All of their reloads are also 50% off but it's a limited selection.
A couple of pictures of the D-Region Tomahawk. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the ISQY Tomahawk. If you want more data, PM me.
There was only one flight of the D-Region as far as I know and the article in Sport Rocketry said it had no external markings or insignia.Three basic questions I have: Were the serial plate and Thiokol logo even present on any single stage rounds of the D-Region Tomahawk?

There were four flights of the IQSY Tomahawk and the common color scheme is for round 4, I've never seen any data for the other three.
