I think the 07 ego is a totally new gun with the new board and that i think that planet out did them selves with it.
.
must be said the 07 board kicks the crap outta the competition in my opinion.
unless you want excessively cheat-friendly modes, whic compromise the LCD - then there is no need for any "upgrade boards".
choice of opto / micro is something i suggested to flash a while back when we were testing the eteks at our site - cos it was a first for planet then with the micro board - and i said they should offer both, or a choice when you ordered, and keep the lcd. im sure MANY people had this idea and voiced it but its good to know planet listen to the customers and the teams that shoot their markers and produce an innovative board like this.
for me thats one of the most impressive features of the 2007 model ego.
id pay a fair whack for a micro board that doesnt rely on a rainbow or worse, single color LED (though the etek board is very easy to pogram) so to have both switches, and LCD programming features in the new marker is a massive selling point.
and FYI i shot planet guns before i was ever into sup air or had the obligation via sponsorship packages
