The Etek2 costs $675 and if can’t afford the $1250 2008 edition guns, this is one good substitute. And it’s a Planet Eclipse so that’s worth something, right? You’ll really find the gun satisfying. The price is very good for a high-end marker and you should definitely consider it. You can find it in – black, ice blue, brown and gold and probably some more if you do a decent search. The divergence in the prices between the new Etek2 and the Ego Etek 06 right now is exactly 80 bucks. Think about it. Do the math and decide which one’s worth more.
