Ego 09 VS Axe

[CAMDENELECTRIC]

Seeing as both are around the same price and both run on a poppet system what are the pros and cons of each?
I am well aware that to truly decide I should use both markers and then choose but im looking for popular opinion here!
Many thanks,
James

Ego IMO for these reasons (some opinionated others not) , more efficient, looks better, feels better, easier to maintain but t axe has better customer service from what I have heard of kee

The valve system design and general operation of both markers is completely different. So it's not really a fair comparison. I've owned the Ego 9 and an invert mini (which is basically the same as an Axe) and I prefer the Ego

Thanks for the replies guys, any views from any one that has used both?

Owned an 09 kept the Axe so prefer it, axe is way more efficient than the 09 and smoother with it

Any specific reasons why?

Smoother quieter and for the entire of last year all I had to do was lube and fire, every month at the Masters held the same FPS without adjustments

Sounds pretty good to me!

Also it's the only marker in the team that at some point didn't go wrong at all last year so that's why I'll be using it for a 3rd season in a row
