The Planet Eclipse Etha 2 and Planet Eclipse Etha LT are both mid-range paintball guns, so the choice comes down to how each one fits your game rather than how much you spend. On price, the Planet Eclipse Etha 2 runs roughly $40 less, so budget-first buyers will lean its way. Both run electronic firing modes, so trigger feel and board tuning matter more here than the spec sheet. The Planet Eclipse Etha 2 is built with first electronic gun and rec/woodsball in mind. The Planet Eclipse Etha LT is built with budget-conscious upgraders and rec/speedball in mind. Availability differs too: the discontinued (common) Planet Eclipse Etha 2 and the in production Planet Eclipse Etha LT won't always be equally easy to find new. Bottom line: the Planet Eclipse Etha 2 has the clearer edge, especially for a tight budget.
