ive had a cocker for the last two years but its time for a change. For the first time i can afford a top end marker from new but im not too sure which one to get? There is a possibility of me getting a G7 soon but ive been looking at shockers (maybe a dark or a ton tons). All i want is a general over view of the pros and cons for these markers. im looking at these markers because weight is a big factor coz my cocker weighs a tonne!! Just tell me what you think guys?

EGO !!!!!!!! its light, accurate reliable, and has lots of tech support available, also new tricked up bits come out weekly for it....EGO all the way for me :) i have had angels, and eblades in the past too this one rocks the most tho also the ego is more reliable than Sp`s Shocker (sorry its only my opinion) and lighter than the g7 too but if i had to go for a shocker it would be the ton ton and there is a beautifull one on the forums at the mo in annod red ! £550

thats easy, just get a half block cocker and buy yourself an mQ-valve to go with it;) that way you reduce weight and your effectively buying and electro anyway but with the added bonus of it having the accuracy of a cocker;)

As for other markers most people will tell you to get out there and ask someone, who has one of the gats your looking at, if you could have a quick shoot over the chrono with it etc. best way to find out what you like is to try before you buy.

Either that or have the accuracy of a cocker in a full electro thats built like a tank....get an Excalibur;)

Everyone can give you their 2ps worth mate but you will have biased comments/reviews etc.

the only way to find out which is right for you is to see them in living colour and shoots them - see how they feel etc

have had a few markers now and the latest addition is an angel fly. love it to bits, fast light accurate good support.

ego i was also tempted by but since i live in sh*tty northern ireland there is noone who owns one yet, and i would like to shoot it first.

i did consider the ego. trouble is i dont know anyone who has one to try it. But i love love planets support and customer service. they have always looked out for me. does anyone know the retail of an XSV EGO? :D I do realise people will be biased to their current marker but if i get enough replies i should be able to "seperate the wheat from the chaff"
