ETEK2 is heavier but more efficient and a little more costly. For the money, I like the Mini.

Louder, slightly more energy efficient, significantly more air efficient, easier on paint. If choosing between only the two.. get the ETEK2.. but lately the more i use my Mini, i'm starting to enjoy it just as much as my P.E marker... just gotta get used to the size.

I appreciate the jesture, but I'd be coming along with the Etek2 to stay after my wife got done with me.

Nothing against Eteks, I know some guys that have them and like them but I really like the Mini best. I have been nothing but happy with mine.

i have an Etek... does that count? i have owned a PMR, an Etek, and a Mini and i would say that the Etek is my favorite, followed by the Mini and then the PMR. i love the look and feel of the Etek, especially when i am shooting. it doesnt climb as much as my Mini when rolling 15bps and i like the way it sounds! the mini is buttah, too, it has beautifully conservative lines (which i LOVE) and nothing sounds anywhere near as cool as a Mini (love that "twomp" sound). and that the mini has no external hoses is fantastic! the PMR is a little louder and less efficient on air than the other two, but its tight, well balanced, the UL grip is awesome, and i can actually work it faster than either of the other two.

so, have i sufficiently muddied the water here?

Mini all the way, I don't think I will want to own any other marker, EVER! When I get a backup marker it will be a Mini.

Hey that's cool. We have the hide-a-bed in the living room in front of the plasma. You could camp out here. You would obviously be required to watch the baby here and there, but the wife would def cook and do your laundry for you if you provide babysitting service!
