I prefere my mini to the etha, but thats just my opinnion, and im a smaller player so maybe thats why. The ethas alrite but it was my first marker with composite parts and it wasnt for me, i personally think your better off investin your £300 in a second hand marker off here, ego8-9, geo, axe, mini.. the list is endless and youl have change for paint with some of them.
