hard question as it's up to personal preferance, and if applicable sponsorship tie ins and what sort of player are you woods or tournie or both. imo the pmr is overpriced i must say that i'd recomend you buying a PMR07 if you can find one as they are piss cheap (bout £80) are very reliable very accurate efficent and shoot beautifully and easy to maintain. i have had two and am buuying another one atm.
just my tupence but looks like your buying the ego

They're all good to be honest, as long as they've been kept in good condition. The nexus ego will be more difficult to find parts for, being an 06.

The price for a second hand mini is just silly nowadays. They're great markers for that kind of price.

pmr

it is down to personal preference, but in my opinion the PMR is the best choice hands down.

Take your pick - I'd be torn between the Mini and the PMR, as the ego may be tricky to find parts for (not impossible, but a hassle!). I like the mini, but some hate them - but that'd be my reccomendation, as the PMR seems a little steep on the price unless it's a minter with ups and spares...

Actually - I'd take the Ego personally, as I'm a fan of older, quirkier markers and it's just cool! But unless you want to learn to tech it yourself and find parts, too much hassle...

Ok buddy I'd spend the bit less or extra tbh. If you had a larger budget get a new proto rail for £250 or if less get a pmr07 for under £100 but if you Defo want one of these then the rail; imo a wee overpriced but a solid easy to maintain gun with recent software parts and board, but the ego is a nice piece as well but 06 and I won't pass judgement on the mini as I've never shot one but heard they're good and gotta say ir being offered a good price from what I've seen. So all in all I'd get a Pmr07 a proto 2011 rail pr the Pmr09 or the mini. Would say there's no rush so try to find if you have any local techs for proto or invert (makers of the mini) and try some out if possible
Where volts do u live as on sunday there's a game in Devon were you can have a go with my Pmr and probes use an old ego or a mini
If found any of my shizzle useful pls thank the post 
