The Deathadder is really worth the money, without a doubt. The problem I have with the DA is that when the room/environment temperature goes up, the mouse becomes really slippery, since my hand is sweating more. The material on the DA doesn't work well with sweaty hands. So it's really hard for me to hold the mouse when it's slippery. It could be only me though, everybody holds a mouse differently.
The Razer 3G isn't slippery for me. So why won't I use the Razer 3G all the time? Well I like the DA and I've spent money on it, so I HAVE to use :D They both have the same sensor, or sensor a like. Therefor the Razer 3G is a good replacement for a DA. Well, in my case.
I have both mice, but in my opinion the DA is a bit more superior to the 3G. Could be placebo though. And I think it is, since they both have the same sensor.
Overall it all depends on how you hold your mouse, and what you are used to. I suggest to go to the local store and try them both out.
If you don't want to spend a small fortune on a mouse buy the Microsoft explorer 3.0(has the same shape as the Death adder) or the Intellimouse 1.1
However if you buy one the these, don't use a ridiculously low sensitivity.
But seeing that you are used to the shape of a MX500/MX510, the MX518 is the best choice. I have the MX510 and the MX518 aswell, and it has served me well, but I like the DA more.
Only way you could buy an mx500 would be using ebay or similar sites. Some places still sell them new in box (sealed) I got mine a couple weeks ago as the last one was unfortunately gone @ cdc4.
firefox, ventrilo, all seeing eye, filezilla,mirc, windows or mx518

kazehakase, mumble, maxbrowse (all seeing eye is dead now), "ftp", irssi, linux
