Hi guys I've been toying with the idea of getting a new marker I've narrowed it down to these two but 2 very experienced ballets whom I respect totally have given some very good points for each marker.

One about a brand new marker with warranty etc and the other about concerns regarding the composite body lifespan vs metal

I'd like to get some more people's opinions hope this is the right place, thanks

the etha has the same composite parts as the LT ( frame, eye covers and feedneck) but i dont think it matters really as its pretty hard stuff !! its not going to break easily as it does have a little bit of flex in it. metal on the other hand if you do happen to fall over or something and bend the frame its not going to bend back if you see what im getting at?

i do prefer an "all metal" gun as they do look better in my opinion but composite does the job its not as nice looking but its hard as nails! and if you wanna get picky its slightly lighter !lol

I would say etek all the way, the etha feels like a great little marker but it is still not in the same league as an etek. LT or AM.

n.b. I haven't used an etha on the field but have had a play and dry fired it.

ask one of the bad moji guys on UKS for a proper idea as they have used them on the field. Or the lucky 15's on here.

Ive already had some imput from Ains of the Lucky15 he suggested the Etha over the Etek.

One thing i didnt realise what that the Etha is actually aluminium save the eye covers, feedneck and frame i thought it was all composite
