AH-1Z has following advantages over T-129.
1. Better MTOW (8T to 6T)
2. Rate of Climb is 1m/s better
3. More service ceiling (20,000 ft to 15,000 ft)
4. Can carry 16 ATGM to 8 ATGM of T-129.
T-129 has following advantages:
1. Possibility to arrive with a MmW Radar (MILDAR)
2. More Range.
3. Cruise speed is more.
4. Could be upgraded to ATAK II specs in future.

If T-129 ATAK II arrives, then yes AH-1Z won't offer any worthwhile advantage.5-6 Super Cobra don't make any difference we already have replacement
