My original plan was to get the tmax but they were out of stock and would be 2 months. He had 1 savage 21 (the newest at the time) and then they would be gone for a month.
I got the savaged i thought it had much better frame / suspension. The only bad thing was it needed stiffer springs (cheap to replace). The tmax was faster but i think it was manily gearing. I think they had about the same hp. I would recomend the savage cause i had such great luck with it. I am 99% sure it would wheelie with stiffer springs in the rear, other wise the back just drops when you nail it.
Go here:

The savage 21 is rated at 2.3 HP
The savage 25 is rated at 2.5 HP
The Savage 4.6cc is rated at 2.9HP!
I cant find hp specs on the tmax, the must not want people to know.
If i were you i would get a savage ss4.6 but if you cant afford it go for the 25.
That 3.3 on ebay does look sick though. I like blue / black head. The K&N filter is an easy mod that i would recomend. You just get a hose and clamps + a breather for chevy valve cover from auto parts store.
Here is a savage vs tmax forum thing.
