Alfa Proj or Crosman Silhouette air pistol

So here's the story... I'm a leftie, and I'm currently shooting a Daisy 747, which is OK, except I'm a leftie, and it's a l.h. cocker. I'm seriously considering either the Alfa Proj Competition for about $650, or the Crosman Silhouette for about $350. I'm not in a financial position to buy a $1000 a...
