I'm 99% sure it's the Race. In the Aug issue on page 14 there is an article called Rent Boys. It talks about Race renting their markers for tournaments and such. On the picture it says check out the full review next month.
Ahhhh, pbjosh, so you distribute Raceguns eh? So no bias against a competitor?
Seriously, I'm fed up with people knocking the E-Blade when they haven't even seen it in action!
All good things come to those who wait...
...and the E-Blade is a very good thing!

HA!
Of course I am Bias, sheesh man!
But mostly I have heard "The E-blade is so much better, it is from Eclipse and has an Eye and is only (insert shifting price here) and is so Blah blah blah"
But there is a Difference. And by talking with people who HAVE played with it, and just by looking at it, I know the difference.
Racegun could have made a similar grip for about the same price. But they wanted a person to be able to use the their old .45 grip covers, and other things. Like the Roller Sear. It is alot more Energy effecient, and smaller and harder to design and produce, than the Spyder type of sear release. And tough. 2 million cycles.
Also, instead of having a 9v battery they went with an NiMH, battery charger, designed for a couple different currents, an external charging port/data port, plus a couple other things.
Just switching back to a 9v drops over $100 off the price. Making the software interface with a PC or Palm costs also.
If it was a simpler grip, and lower tech, like the rest out there, the price could have been lower. But it isn't. And those designed in features cost a bit more.
Look at a Centerflag grip. It used a unique sized grip frame, a plastic cover, a single rotary solenoid that mechanical activated the old 3-way on the gun, and used a 9v. It was about the same price. If they had added a NiMH battery, a second Solenoid up front, how much would the cost have been?
So I don't think the E-blade is better. It is good kit, and nicely packaged. And looks to be well made. I am not dissing that.
I was merely trying to say- There is a difference. And a reason for that price. There normally is.
I could get a M3 grip, do a bit of soldering, and add a 5-way to it. There ya go! E-grip for the Cocker: $200.

Also, if you are in Driving Range of SC village or Hollywood Extreme we will have rental Raced Cockers ready and kickin end of August. Come give them a Try.

.............and a side note, the Eclipse Blade gets 8,000 to 10,000 shots per 9v, where the Racegun 9v gets 50,000+.
Not dissing, educating.

I don't care how good the E-Blade is going to be (supposedly 
) but my dealings with Planet's customer support cannot compare to Race Guns! I have just had my grip updated and I sent the payment form off yesterday, the grip was waiting for me when I got home today. However, the envelope with a few little pieces had been forgotten. I have mailed Morten this evening and he has already put the envelope (plus a new data cable which I asked for) in the post and I am sorting out the extra payment for the cable tomorrow. Now who else can you name that has that kind of dedication to their customers? This alone has convinced me that I made the right decision when going for my new frame.
Morten and co., you guys are the best!
