Hello, i own both mini and an etha. I sold my first mini a month ago to my friend as i had to many markers, but missed it and just baught another from here second hand. PERSONALLY i prefere the feel of the mini as its a bit smaller than the etha, other than the feel they seem to perform quite similar. Even considering selling the etha now a minis back in the family... I also own a smart parts vibe, which is also known as gog envy (gog/smart parts same company i believe), although its not worked properly since i baught it second hand, they are also a good marker although mine at the minute is an exception...
