Which is better for a beginner?

The Trademark Poker set, because it includes the cabinet, darts, scoreboard and chalk in one purchase. A beginner who wants a better board can still start on the Blade 6 and add a cabinet later.

Which board lasts longer?

The Winmau Blade 6. Its sisal face and Dual Core base are built for heavy play, while the Trademark board uses a paper wound fiber surface that wears faster.

Is the Blade 6 worth the extra over the cabinet set?

If you play regularly, yes. The thin angled wire and Dual Core base mean fewer bounce-outs and better dart retention. If you mainly want a tidy cabinet for occasional games, the Trademark set covers more for less.

Do I need to buy darts for the Blade 6?

Yes. The Blade 6 ships as a board only, so you need steel tip darts, and a cabinet or surround if you want to protect the wall.

Can the Trademark set go outdoors?

No. It is listed for indoor use only, in a game room, garage or bar.

Which has better shopper ratings?

The Blade 6 rates 4.8 out of 5 from 107 ratings against 4.0 out of 5 from 172 ratings for the Trademark set.

Trademark Poker Dart Board Cabinet Set with Official Size 18-inch Dartboard and 6 Darts vs Winmau Blade 6 Dual Core

Buy the Winmau Blade 6 Dual Core if you care about scoring and bounce-outs; it is the better board by a wide margin. Buy the Trademark Poker set if you need a finished wall cabinet, darts and chalk in one box for a game room. The Blade 6 is board only, so add a cabinet, darts and a surround separately.
