So I have used the Petzl Aztars before for solid vertical ice and I really like the balance of them and the feel and shape of the handle. Overall I really liked them. So my question is how do these tools compare to the Aztars? The reason I don't just get the Aztars is because I really like the lease and the trigger on these? Is there any other major differences I should be aware of?

The Quark excels at vertical and overhanging ice due to its curve and shape. The Aztar is more of a hybrid axe--something that will perform adequately in certain technical conditions while still functioning somewhat as a straight-shaft tool for less vertical conditions.
