First marker purchase

[Chris beesley]

As title suggests looking too buy my ffirst marker I have tried both markers and can't decide which to get. They are both within budget and both felt good to use, basically other than astethics is one better than the other here are the options:

1. Empire invert mini

2. Planet eclipse etha

Etha.... backed up by the best technical support in paintball!

Second for the Etha, great first marker IMO, that or an Etek 3/4

 

[Chris beesley]

Well that's one for each, but other than back up which I do value as being important is there any big advantages to one gun over the other

Etha over mini, but if you can spare the cash an AXE is a solid purchase.

 

[Chris beesley]

What is it about the etha that is so much better than the mini, is it company reputation or newer technology?

I'm new too, based on my extensive reading, I'm going with the etha for my first marker.

In my opionion I would go for the etha. Never owned an etha before but had Planet guns and have another ego at the moment. Also a mini just now and had more trouble with the mini than I ever had with any of the ego's

The newer minis are generally very good and realiable. By no means a bad gun, shoots just like an axe but smaller. However the etha has fantastic support from PE. The mini can suffer a little with trigger bounce and te settings are a little more difficult to change than the Etha. Etha also comes with a nice 2 piece barrel. Overall just a bit more bang for your buck.
