Both built. Both reviewed. Here's how they actually compare on the things that matter.
Set #75192
LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon (UCS)
My first 18+ set, and the bar against which every other LEGO build I've ever done is measured.
Set #75309
LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship (UCS)
The Clone Wars workhorse, in UCS scale. Side-doors that open, gun turrets that swivel, and the only UCS that lets you crew it with clones.
