I didn't think I should vote because I've never shot a Phantom.  BUT  I LOVE my P-09.  That would have been my biased recommendation.  I also have two P-07s, a 75B and a 75D.  I had an SP-01 suppressor ready Tactical but sold it to fund my second P-07.

My P-09 is my favorite to shoot.

Your implied vote puts P-09 into double digits, ha.

Thx everyone.  I ended up ordering the P-09.   Should arrive in a couple of days. 

Hey, congrats!  Mine came with factory nights, but I'm going to be swapping those out here soon as the front sight has started to become really dim.  I have a set of Night Fisions ready to go on, just have to commit to doing it.  :)

Sounds good!   I've a feeling I've started an expensive habit...

By the way. I just purchased a Phantom on Gunbroker brand new for $350 plus $30 shipped. Brand new and the seller has more. You won’t find a better deal than this.

Until today  :D GunsMidWest and Centerfire had them for $282-286 shipped

Don’t feel bad, tried to chase down these sub $300 phantoms everyone is talking about and everywhere is sold out or back to regular pricing, waiting to hear about people who actually ordered them getting their orders canceled because someone made a mistake.

Thanks. I was able to score the deal off Gunbroker for $350 plus shipping my FFL will receive it in the next couple days. Sale price isn’t good anymore. I checked out the price at Gunsmidwest and it seems those prices went to regular price also. I still feel lucky.

I have both and I give a slight advantage to the Phantom.

I took my new P-09 to the range today!  200 flawless rounds (the CZ was flawless, my accuracy was not.)  Thx again everyone.

Another vote for the P-09 . If you are going for a Phantom might as well get a SP-01 tac which I did , Both shoot great if you do your part they do their part . I wish they would come out with a P-09 optic cut slide .

Both guns are quite inexpensive right now.  Phantom has cheap mags and a tad smaller, but the stock sights stink.
