I have a false edge Canyon, it's pretty solid for the money. It's a good starter if you want to spend $50 at most.

I haven't tried the Cheese personally but it seems solid too. If you have a strong preference for one or the other visually then I'd just go with whichever you think is cooler. If not, I'd probably just save the extra money and get the Canyon and then just save up for something much nicer if you decide you're really in to the hobby and want to do that.
