Shocker NXT or e-tek??

Who said an EGO was better than an ETEK.
An ETEK IS an EGO, but it has been made without a few of the more expensive parts.
QEV's.... You dont need them at 15.4 capped, ramp or not.
LCD Screen....... Do you really need one???
Microswitch not Optical......... The 07 has both and mine is still on the Microswitch!
Few other minor differences but everything is basically the same.
It is an EGO for less cash. Someone asked me on the phone tonight if they were any good and I said If I didnt have my 06 at the time they came out I would of definately had one. I also toyed with the idea of getting one a couple months ago, but then you know what happened!!! LOL!
I keep saying this and people keep asking.
ECLIPSE is an English company and soooooo easy to get parts, servicing etc, and any of you guys whether sponsored or not cant say the guys at ECLIPSE aren't good guys.

An etec has more parts than a shocker, it has bolt, lpr, ram, poppet etc. Where as a shoker just has a bolt, no lpr, no ram as its a spool valve. A shocker takes like 5 mins to lube up, its easy peasy. Go with the shocker dude

Anything by PLANET > anything by anyone else.

Customer service is excellent,
Products are excellent,
value for money is excellent.

Shockers are good guns. Just not as good as Ego's/Eteks.

I know, I have shot them all. As for accuracy, no difference in markers a the top end anyway. Its all about the barrel bore baby............

Go with Planet gear, I did, then went away to something else for a couple of weeks. Straight back to Ego, then away again, yup you guessed it straight back to Ego.

etek has more parts granted if you split hairs like that. you telling me that the shocker bolt is one peice? no, its a can, bolt, guide, etc etc

and then also the shocker has more orings

and fwiw, the LPR Is useful and some see the shocker as being handicapped somewhat without one.
