While who likes what gun is obviously subjective (I like Shockers, apparently most of the others here don't), keep in mind what price range we're talking about here: around $275. A 1-2 year old Shocker in good condition can be acquired for that price. The cheapest Ego I was able to find (not searching intensively, but checking several sources) was $375 for an 05 and it was in OK shape. I found a few ETEK's for around $300, but their condition wasn't the best. I found a few DM5's for around $300-325 and their condition was pretty decent.

My only point being that the EGO/ETEK/DM isn't really in the same price range if you are wanting a gun in really good condition.
I think it comes down to used Shocker, used PM, and new PMR in the $275 range. Whichever you like is up to you. I like the Shocker, but that's just me.
