Dam these forums are getting really bitchy at the moment, LOL.
To the OP, I had the very same question not too long ago, then I decided that if I chose the 06 as a better buy, I was prepared to shell out the £300(ish) for one, so why not get a brand new Etek..... sorry to throw ANOTHER marker into an already difficult equation (because imo, all Eclipse markers are awesome).... I went for the Etek and haven't looked back since, plus (flame away if I'm wrong) I'm positive the Etek is lighter than the 05 and 06?
