Shoot the Mosin for a while ...the 7.62 recoil is hardly objectionable.

Honestly, if you're shooting past 200 yards with an AK, you're not using the right tool for the job.
"Better" in what respect? Several years ago, I dumped all my 7.62x39 rifles and standardized on the 5.45. I did this for several reasons - less recoil, flatter shooting (combination of the two equals "easier to shoot well"), and cheaper to shoot (mil-surp ammo is ~$139/1080). The 7.62 presents more recoil, but gives better penetration of intermediate barriers.
We have a couple Polish Tantals in at about $459.95. Arsenals can be ordered, but run $850+.
They are the same as for the stamped-receiver 7.62 AKs.
HTH!
a friend once sent me an FBI webpage saying that the 5.45x39 round is extremely deadly in all their ballistics tests.
