Can't really compare the two honestly... When i had the 47" SHP, I was flying it on 3s, with around 500w power (Omega 103 equivalent) using 3s2200 batts, where as my EF 48" Edge was on 4s with 850w power, using 4s2650s... two totally different animals!
Now, compared to other 3dhs birds, the 47" SHP (v4) was only second to the 48" Vyper to me on my personal favorites. I felt the SHP had great low speed characteristics with easy hovers and harriers, while still (even on the light setup I had) performing well in spins and tumbles.

Yeah I always recommend the 4s setups on the 48's. I love the tumbles on that edge! It was also my first balsa plane that I harrier landed more than regular land! Loved that edge!

Not trying to start a brand war here, but I would rather get a 3DHS plane because honestly, more people have them and I can get more help. No offense to EF, they have awesome planes but I don't want to be that one guy at a 3DHS fly-low-in with the only EF plane......... and EF is more expensive for the 48" ones.

No brand wars here... I think people are just sharing their personal preferences. Go with what you like, they're both AWESOME airplane manufacturers!

No brand war needed- I recommended the EF 48" edge, but prefer the 51" AJ Slick, in 60 size I prefer EF, then go back to 71" slick in the 25% size. As for more people owning the plane: there are thousands of posts out there for both planes, so I don't think that should be a factor at all. Before you lock yourself onto one brand for social reasons, try the others first! Once you try them you'll probably be like us and own multiple EF and multiple 3dhs frames! Unless you are sponsored I would highly recommend against putting all your eggs in one basket!
At the end of the day- they are all awesome frames, we're just giving you a non-biased opinion on all the options! You'll be happy with whatever you chose!

Definitely agree! I have owned/own 4 3DHS planes and 3 EF planes and have yet to be disappointed. No one is going to look at you funny for flying an EF plane.
I liked the 48'' Edge from EF but the landing gear on the 3dhs Edge will definitely save you some $$$ in the long run.

It definitely can save you damage on a bad landing, but it was annoying me on good landings! It's all preference! Like I said- you will be happy with either! I flew both before I bought mine and just preferred the EF.
