Being a blow forward which i read basically cancels out kick, and then having the sexy little low o ring bolt. Plus it has a lower operating pressure than the dm9.
I like the dm9 cuz i own a dm7 and love it to death. One of the only things i find that its missing is a better trigger/frame and i know ego makes the best ones out there i hear mac dev comes close or is equal in their trigger/frame qulaity. And the dm9 has hardly any kick. I dont mind the maintenance or any of the features some come to dislike in the dye series. But if i can get a matrix from a company i like more that would be the geo wouldnt it?

Yeah, it is. That's what makes it unbalanced. Unbalanced spools don't have an lpr. This is what makes them less efficient and kick more. They can be made lighter since they don't have as much hardware, however. From everything I've read, GEO operating pressure is 130 psi, which is not really that much different from the DM9, which I understand is around 140 (I don't have either, so I'm relying on what I read here). But the LP OP (that which actually drives the internals) of the DM9 is much lower than that of the GEO.
I personally see no point in the DM9. It's still no real improvement upon the DM6, but still costs $1400. The Geo is better compared to Ions and Shockers than the DM9. If you wanna pay $1250 for an Ion, feel free. You'll just never see me do it, nor could I ever recommend it to someone. Had they priced the Geo with the Etek, I could recommend it since the quality is far superior to Ions or Shockers.
