He'll be posting a picture of a 3 1/2 oz co2 in a minute as a visual demonstration of the one advantage of CO2 over air eh @BOD

is there a specific air system you would suggest for an eclipse etha?
According to the manual (which is always the best place to look ), "High, mid and low pressure output preset air systems can be used with the Etha, providing the Etha is fitted with the SL3 inline regulator originally supplied with the marker." so any air system will do.

a new Zen 48cu/0.8l 3000psi Air System costing 30 pounds compared to a second hand Empire 68Ci Carbon Fiber Tank 4500psi costing 85 pounds could you explain the differences between the both and why one should be bought over the other

the zen bottle is a basic aluminium 3000psi bottle the same as what sites use on their rental guns, the empire bottle is bigger and lighter and can be filled to 4500psi instead of 3000psi. Basically the difference between an reliant robin and a Porsche, they'll both get you to the shops and back but the Porsche will probably get you to Europe and back as well. I would never recommend buying a second hand air system unless you know the previous owner or are a qualified air smith.

one thing to remember is will the place you're filling at fill to 4,500 psi, if they don't some of the advantages of a 4.5k bottle are lost.
