Many of the side by side comparisons I have seen online show that the aoshima is really close to the hot toys T-800, and a lot cheaper.
If the 7" is die-cast I am totally getting it.
I was mistaken, apparently the regular 7" version is not die-cast I just read that the 12" version was die-cast or something and assumed they all would be. I don't have one so maybe there are some parts in die-cast but I wouldn't know for sure. I did look one over in the box at my local Hastings once but it is painted silver so it's hard to say without opening one or reading more thoroughly through the web if it is die-cast at all. If it isn't die-cast I'd say it still probably has the endurance advantage over NECA's endoskeleton because Aoshima sculpted less of the finer details which makes part of it more solid. There's more than likely a decent review or better on youtube that'd say how good it is and if it's die-cast or not.
