-If we check Power/Weight ratios; We are going to see that T-129 has much more bigger ratios than Z-10 because Z-10 has an 7000 kg takoff weight with 1285-1531(?) (Different sources have different datas) hoursepower, While T-129 has 5000 kg take off weight with 1361 horse power...
Z-10 prototype had P&W PT6C-76C engines with 1700 hp. Serial models have WZ-9 clones with 1370 hp. Probably they could catch up with time.
 
from AFM - October.
"one of the key attributes of both is (WZ-10, WZ-19) that they are free of export controlled systems supplied by the west or Russia. this means China can sell them to anybody. at present it would appear that Pakistan could be the WZ-10's first export customer, the type being bought as a replacement for the combat weary AH-1F Cobras - the pakistanis are also being offered the T-129 by the turkish manufacturer TAI. there is a concern, however, that the WZ-10 is as yet unproven in combat".

"thanks to its modular design and GJV289A std databus architecture (chinese equivalent of the MIL-STD-1553B), the WZ-10 can be armed with a wide variety of weapons of both Russian and western origin."

"three types of autocannon are available - a 23mm chinese gun - a chinese copy of the 2A72 30mm weapon - a reverse engineered version of the 25mm M242 Bushmaster."

"ATGW - HJ-8, HJ-9, HJ-10 (chinese version of the Hellfire)"

if experts say z10 is not battle tested, then when did t 129 became battle tested. I still think more emphasis should be given to z10.

The advantage of Z10 may be never battle tested....who like wars? okay i am, but wars in other countries.
