Ego Prime, Ego 11 or LV1

[Doog12]

Looking into a new marker... New to forum not so new to paintballing. Own an older Ego just now and thinking of an upgrade. Anyone got a Prime? Thoughts on it? Any benefits and major differences over a normal Ego 11. Or do I just try and buy a second hand LV1?

Never actually seen a Prime other than online. personally I'd pickup a second hand Ego11 for about £400-450 off here and spend the other few hundred quid on something else

I just started noticing the Prime a few weeks ago and done some digging. Looks the part but a few extra pennies. Ego 11 is nice and always appealed to me but the LV1 is starting to grow on me more and more lol

Lv1,had one since July and they are a totally different animal compared to earlier Ego's and shoot so smoooth.

I have all three... Ego Prime, Ego CSLs (Ego 11) and Ego LV1s. So probably can offer an opinion on them.

As has been mentioned, all Egos prior to the LV1 are very different. I bought the CSLs as I always buy the SL variant from PE. I really loved the CSL, but when I got the LV1, they stayed in the kit bag. I bought the Prime because I was attracted to the design and also intrigued about the differences. I havent really used the Prime that much, but when I have it did shoot very well. Plus I believe aspects of the science behind the Prime has been incorporated into the LV1 (@Robbo should be able to confirm)

So if I had to pick one... I'd probably go with the Prime. It looks amazing, there are very few around and I like the way it's shot. An LV1 is still a great choice, but the Prime just ticks more boxes right now

Cheers for the info guys. Taking it all into consideration.... There really isnt a right and wrong choice by the sounds of things. Will just have to try and snap up whatever comes along at the right time and right price! Trying to fund this sport is becoming increasingly harder! lol

It's never been easy... most 'ballers can trace their DNA to the magpies, attracted to shiny new things!

I can relate to that.... Its like a big button saying do not press... You just have to press it!! same thing. See a shiny new toy... It must be bought through any means necessary!
