yeah for sure if you shoot both you'll know what you prefer. While parts like the trigger and feedbeck are nicer in metal, the composite parts are generally pretty tough and aren't going to break easily unless you really rattle them. Despite being composite, the etha trigger is a lot more adjustable and i personally prefer that shape (although it's probably just what i'm used to). However there's no disputing that the mini grips are definitely going to be a bit nicer in the hands, although its again personal preference because the mini does feel quite thick compared to an etha.Im really not sure what to go with i love the minis looks and the fact its metal , but the etha also looks nice and its back by planet exlipse i really dont know , i think ill have to leave it till paintfest see if i can handle them both there ...
oh well yeah i'll give you that it definitely pings! to be honest both guns really do have their pros and cons and a lot of it will definitely come down to what feels nicer to shoot in the hands of individuals.I didnt mean it sounds loud, more it just sounds pingy and wierd. having said the negative parts on the etha, in comparison with a mini, the ethas asa with on off is a plus, so is its barrel ( i like a 14 incher). Like i said people will disagree with my oppinions on markers as i will theirs, but having owned a few markers now, two of the main things i look for in a marker is how it feels in your hands (which only you can decide), and can it get the paint you shoot down the barrel without smashing somewhere beforehand...
Out of curiosity what is your budget? X
I wish i could be in the same position! Currently on my second poor stint with them where i need to keep chasing up to get an answer out of them.I have to disagree with you again liam lol. Ive had nothing but great service from kee, also from eclipse, but if you send a marker to eclipse for a service, dont they charge £30 odd? Plus you postage costs... I realise its not something people have done often, or ever but the fact remains. X
I see this post when you put it up, i had a prophecy, far too complicated looking for me. XI wish i could be in the same position! Currently on my second poor stint with them where i need to keep chasing up to get an answer out of them.

Can't honestly say what the cost of a service is, only ever sent a gun in for parts/repair.
