Can't decide between markers!!! Help

I have an ego 10 sls and i want to get another marker, I'm stuck between the ego 11, geo 3, and the luxe 2.0. Price doesn't matter but every little detail about all three markers matter like how the geo 3 has an etec 4 case and not its own geo 3 case and how none of the planet Eclipse markers don't come with a full barrel kit. The ego 11 is like my last possible choice because i have a ego 10 and i want to go towards closed bolt markers.

well like you said ego 11 should be your last choice considering you have an sls.

Between the geo 3 and luxe 2, luxe will be smoother and quieter. efficiency will be about the same. Geo is lighter, should be more reliable and has an oled screen vs talking board on luxe. Feel is all preference but both feel great to me.

I recommend waiting as there are several new markers on the horizon.

Its a really hard choice considering they both have advantages and disadvantages

I personally own them all but I always grab my one of my Goes to play with. I did shoot the Luxe yesterday at a practice (got it in May) so it was the first time I really played with it and I really liked it. I guess I'm not much help am I ?

I have a Luxe 2 and an SLS and have played with both the Geo 3 and the Ego 11. IMO, the luxe is your best option. Ergo's are completely opinion based, but the luxe's are stretched out (which I find comfortable) and the reg is angled to give an extranious 3* arc on your shot (can help lobs quite a bit)

I need in depth details, trigger, comfort, efficiency, smoothness, consistency, sound, packaging, parts kit, other things that come with the markers, and if you were going to a tournament witch would you use?

My personal experience with markers has made me confident that I can take an eclipse marker to any field on any day and it will perform as expected.

With other markers, I have found that I can have small hiccups at the beginning of a day of play. Which, in and of itself may not be reason enough for you to choose one marker over another, as most of these issues are quickly resolved. For me personally though, I play with more confidence when I don't have to worry about my marker being finicky.

Planet eclipse build quality is second to none. Their markers are intuitively designed and are very robust platforms.

That's great, I'll remember that too. I'm sorry guys I'm asking soo many questions its just when spending 1500-2000$ of my heard earned cash I don't want to make a bad decision.

geo3 comes with parts kit, 2 bolts (geo2 - hard face and a soft tip bolt), grease, sock, manual, allens, shaft4 (689 bore), hard case. u can get the shaft boost kit for $99 to get a .685 and .693 to throw into the case.

I have to agree with this man, and the guys saying to wait until after extravaganza. I have never had a more reliable marker than the geo 2 I had. Every issue I ever had with that gun was user error. I am sure PE's next marker will be the same and better. I am more than likely getting a geo 3 if they don't release another geo after extravaganza.

I wouldn't expect a new GEO3. But I bet there will be a new LUXE with Empires name on it.
