Difference Between Mazzle and Mirage Ui

Ok, When i get the chance im going to either download 1 of them and use them as my ui, They both look excellent so i cant decide which one i want, can anyone point out differences/advantages, also im a warlock on my main so which suits me the most, I also see that Mazzle is very active which is a huge reason i might just pick mirage becasue of updates/support, but could someone help deliberate logically the advantages that id have as a warlock with mazzle ui or mirage ui, and which one has it "all"

Mazzle UI looks better, has more features, works better, and is more user friendly.

Strangely enough, the last several WoWInsider add-on articles have been about package reviews with the last two covering MazzleUI and Mirage's UI. Prior to that, they covered the CT and Cosmos. While I would take issue with several things in all four of the reviews, overall it's a good read.

Compilations

I totally agree with Dreadlorde and I can add that there are more "little details" in Mazzle UI that you need to see by yourself "in game" that are hard to explain here.

A good place to start is the article Mazzle gave you. Although I also have some discrepancies with all the four reviews. We generally appreciate the work of all the Authors who take the time to make a compilation, even when we don't like it.

Another thing you can do is try both. There are instructions on how to backup some folders on both compilations and you can play some days with both and return back to your default configuration if you don't like something.

I've tried many compilations before, some I like some I don't, and for me Mazzle UI has all I need and all I didn't know that I needed. If for any reason, you don't like Mazzle or Mirage, there is a well know Author called Seerah that have a compilation called Seraah's Suitcase here on wowinterface. He knows a lot about these things and he is a very friendly and helpful person. Different players different tastes, your choice.

You should probably take that question to the Mirage forums since this is the forums for Mazzleui...

If you mouse up too fubar top right of your screen you will see mazzleui right click go down to keybindings choose edit, then just mouse over the spell you want binding and click the buttons youd like to assign its really simple

No, MazzleUI and it's button layouts are designed for higher level characters. Until you get to that level though, you may have to either not have the UI place your skills for you or remazzify to place them every time you level and get new skills.

I don't really know what you mean by a UI designed for levels 20-60. All other UIs, as far as I know, do not place actions in your buttons. Would you consider them designed for low levels or high levels? Whatever your answer and the logic behind it may be, you can apply that to MazzleUI. Simply choose one of the layouts that doesn't place actions and it's equivalent in that regard.

Personally, I think the button layouts that place skills are most applicable to levels 40-60 (-70 if you make a few additions). The UI though is applicable to the whole level range, IMO. In some ways, I'd say that it's easier to use for low levels than other packages, since it's easier to tailor the add-on selection differently for each character.

Yea, Mazzle, I really like this ui, but im so noob with it, what layout do you think would suit a 26 warlock the most lol? Also how do i add more spells to the layout... i had the titanium blue layout and it gave me a limited space for vw spells, imp spells, and affliiction spells. Also why do we run outdated mods? are they really not outdated?
