Can't decide on a Deathadder or finding a G400

I used a Copperhead for years, which i loved but it broke 2-3 years back and since then i was using a crappy Tescos value mouse until a Logitech G5 was given to me, which broke aswell (the random disconnect problems got to the point where it wouldn't connect at all). I'm back to using the value mouse now and it's just useless for gaming.

I've been reading a lot of random reviews saying that the G400 and Deathadder are fairly similar, meaning that the Deathadder can't justify it's price. Knowing that, i went looking for G400 (which are apparently meant to be budget these days) and they aren't much cheaper than the Deathadders anywhere.

overclockers don't even sell them anymore, whilst hotukdeals has had them listed for as low as £7 but more commonly £19-25 in the past year but nothing recent.

Please help me to decide, i'm just getting back into FPS gaming and i find myself doing crap things in order to accommodate my **** mouse i got from a bargain bin.
 
After reading a few comparisons, i think i've decided to fork out the extra £15 for the 2013 edition due to apparent longer durability, and being as i very rarely treat myself. I may aswell go all out. :)

Unless of course someone can give me a genuine good reason not too (other than the obvious i don't need 6400dpi).

What's the best mousemat for it? I'm the kind of guy who is tight with money and won't spend anything, then as soon as i spend a little, i want to spend more. :)
 
You're probably right to be fair (it's hard to find any mouse that someones not complained about them breaking, and i'm sure there's just as many that moan about the 2013 version).

Oh well, and i haven't played with a mousemat for ages and i've got an old razer one here that i bought with my copperhead close to 8 years ago now, so i'll just use my desk because it's what i'm used too.

Many thanks for the advice. Will be ordering within the next hour, hopefully i'll be guaranteed to get it tomorrow.
