That said, the legend is a great marker, without the Rhino spring it's smoother then an Etek and etek 2, Might be smoother then the 3 and 4 but I have not done a side by side comparison.
Both are still being serviced by the manufacturer if something goes wrong, b oth are efficient (with the ball going to the etek on this one, not by much if at all) and upgrade to a rhino spring, the lengend will not dissappoint.
But at the end of the day it comes down to which one feels better in your hand, they are that close.
I'd probably go with the legend, but think there are some other good options... The protege, marq 6, gen4 timmy (i or e) and 06 borg would also be poppets in a similar price point.
