Etek: Do Planet have another winner on their hands?

[Shades]

It was only a matter of time.

Looks a nice marker with all the features you come to expect of Planet.

You now have the equivalent WDP have with the Angel speed06 is the Angel G7 Fly.

I can see no problem with this bar it will kill the second hand market price of all Ego’s dead.

No argument any more over WDP and Planet when it comes to the second hand market. But will Planet drop the price of there flag ship markers to come in line with the price drop WDP have just made on there top line markers? We will

Hot. Will it be interchangeable/compatible with original ego parts? I actually prefer that body to the 06.

The feedneck is the same as the ego and the '06 CCU kits are interchangeable.

It looks that way, yeah, but I should've clarified in that I meant the internals (rammer, QEV)...might not even be worth the bother though, guess we'll have to see how much difference there is in performance.

edit: I should read, really:

• Rammer Housing – New ETek Rammer and Rammer Housing. No QEVs, but direct Fore and Aft Porting to Rammer. Does not accept any Ego 05 or 06 stock OR aftermarket rammers or rammer housings.

Bit of a shame but I guess it either isn't possible for tech reasons or planet wish to keep the two lines seperate, which is understandable. Should still rock!

When have planet ever made anything that doesn't rock !!!!

In my opinion this gun looks great and will probably work even better than it looks. Really liking the SL66 purge thingy, the micro switch PCB, super big trigger frame and the milling is simple but chill at the same time with those smooth rounded lines.

not bad for £500 new eh ?

those guys at Planet know how to look after you ballers.

Nexus Ego for sale ???

That's good isn't it ? more choice of great guns.

everyone goes on about the resale going down and the amount of guns released etc, but you only get hit with that if you decide to sell your gun, just because they've released another gun doesn't mean you HAVE to buy it does it ?

It's just giving us more choice, everyone's 05 egos aren't going to suddenly stop or start working badly just because Planet have released another gun, 05Ego's still kick ass out of most other guns out there.

I wasn't debating the quality or resell value of the ego. Just wanted to let eveyone know it aint just wdp releasing alot of markers because compared to planet they havnt. Also I posted because people say it so much, 'oh look another wdp gun', i just wanted to lay that to rest. Peace out
