Have you played with one yet? If not I'd wonder how you can recommend it.
I'd still take a 2nd Ego over spending money on a brand new budget marker. Wait a few weeks until the 07 Ego comes out and you'll have your pick of them. If you're able to afford an 06 Nexus or XSV I'd put my money on that. If you're not too bothered about air usage the DM6 is a lovely marker and stupidly cheap even now.
