Post-revamps Shad vs Xenon

I'm just contemplating on whether or not I should switch mains from a shadower to a xenon since they do benefit a lot more from stats from tyrants and set effects. Does anyone have strong points about this?
Is funding about the same for both classes? Are xenons squishier than shadowers?
Shadower is becoming a little bland. I just enjoy playing multiple classes to keep the game fresh.

@traderweak: 46k buffed hp... Sorry I didn't include the hp after the 46k, I thought it was self implied.

Don't forget that you don't have to use expensive thief equips of a xenon. just grab some cheap pirate tyrants

Funding a Xenon is pretty easy with tyrants, gollux, etc, but I don't know how "end game" you plan on going, so yeah, down side is %all stats is expensive (but not like %luk isn't either). IMO funding a Xenon is easier than funding a shad. Xenons definitely have better survivability than shads, especially with the 100% avoid skill. At level 210 and with most end game gears, unbuffed i have 39k hp and buffed around 46k iirc. Xenon's also have close and long range skills, as well as better mobility, plus a bind skill, which makes them very good at bossing. I use almost all my Xenon's skills from all it's jobs, which is something that can't always be said for most classes : Downside is that Beam Dance and Snipe become your most used skills, but for the lols sometimes I just walk past mobs and kill them. Xenon's are pretty fun I think
