Final Judgment

Both Are Even

Overall, both of these devices are great.  The Gou Gou Changer looks great and is exactly what is used on Operation Overdrive, though lacking in the playability somewhat.  The Mercury Morpher, while a bit different from what is used on the show, has a fun Black Light feature and cool new Command Screen.  If you want exactly what is used on the show, then yes the Gou Gou Changer is the one to get.  If you like a bit more playability in the Morpher, go with the Mercury Morpher.  To me, they are both great devices to own.
