The 07 does indeed look fragile but it bloody isnt, i can assure you

It wont be too long before lighter materials are incorporated into markers once aluminium has reached its physical limit.

has to be 3. what about the guys with big hands who need the 3 finger frame for two of theirs?

it is difficult to see where they are going to save weight from here on it. there seems to be nothing left on the markers to shave off!!

Look at the sl74 and you will wonder how they can possibly make a marker lighter, without losing build quality and durabililty.

lighter materials will cost more.......... where do you draw the line?

You've hit the nail on the head there.

The Sl74 is ridiculously light

iv recently sold my ion to get an ego,

i sold the ion cos it felt like a toy, and i think he 07's are pretty damn light and feel a bit... yeh as if they heading that way,

id like a bit of beet on my marker, what about u guys :p
As I'm not either a Tourny or regular player, weight dosn't really bother me.
I have an old Skool Trix with a new Gold bolt and Tadao, it rips well, is reliable and accurate, so even though it's not the lightest, prettiest or fastest, I'm not bothered about it being probably twice the weight of an Ego. (Heavy):(

Other markers:-
Spyder Victor II (Light, J+J makes up in accuracy for being bloody ugly):)
Kenimex Scorpion pump (Light):rolleyes:

Sons markers:-
Angel IR3 with Angel Air (Bloody heavy);)
System X Mec Cocker (not too heavy):p
