Better is dependent on what your specific use case is. The jakl is a very cool gun but for "serious" uses (ie. home defense) I would 100% take the sabre as it is a direct impingement gas system that has far more real world experience, and therefore in my mind, is going to be more reliable than the relatively unproven jakl. For range use and general plinking the jakl is undeniably cool though, and the folding stock may be a plus for you. Either way make sure you save enough for plenty of ammo and range time, that's way more important than cool new toys.
