well i would choose an ego over an etek every time
just depends on what you preffer

but why do you want an 09, rather than an 08 or 07??

My Question to you would be this, are you a tourniment player, woods baller etc.

Then ask yourself should i pay £753 for a new EGO09 or just buy something like an etek2 or and ego07/08 and save alot of money and basically get the same performance.

I worked my way up to my now SL8R EGO. and found that planet make a very robust and reliable marker..

The only other thing i would add is try out as many as you can before you purchase one, every body has a favorite marker and probably went through many before finding what suited them most.


But i will add that out of the most recent ego's my fav is the ego07 :D

GL With your final choice ;)

i would say it depends on three things

1- the money you have to spend
2- the quality of your other kit
3- (most important) your skill

if you get the 09 you will need good kit to keep up with it carbon fibre air good hopper ect
and if you are only a occasional player you will want to get the etek and have money spare

dont know if quality of your kit has anything to do with it take it as given most people use 4500 fill bottles

hoppers who cares 12bps even a revvy would do fine

as for the skill comment what the hell has that got to do with anything elitist garbage

here's my view on it owned a 06 nexus didnt like the gun shape wise or much about it apart from the looks damn it was stunning

so that counts out the etek for me similer shape and size trigger ect

used 05/06/07 and a couple of sl models briefly and owned a 08

and out of the lot the 08 was spot on (for me ) couldnt fault it on anything excellent build quality and a looks

as already mentioned try and see which fits you best.
but one thing on the etek 2 is the trigger. im sure many would agree the stock trigger on the etek2 is horrible. its tight and doesnt fell good. but thats just my opinion.
if you can afford an 09 go ahead its your choice at the end of the day but you would get simmilar performance out of the 07/08.


good luck bud.



and happy new year everone.
