+1 on what Tack said.
Be a little wary of JustPaintball. A lot of new players use them as they have a very aggressive marketing campaign on google. How many scenario games do you actually see them at?
Don't get me wrong, I have used JP and had good service. But you need to know what you want and not get swayed.
We have had nothing but superb service from BZ for two seasons now. Cracking bunch of guys and very very helpful.

My personal experience of eteks are avoid the LT's and aim for the AM's I know a few people that feel the because the AM's (all metal) are much more durable, hoppers however are not really my stronghold. Only ever had a rotar and they are great if you can get one of them.

The Eteks are great markers. Even the LT is pretty durable. Planet Eclipse service is among the best and they have been at a lot of scenario games this year doing free maintenance/teching.
As always, try before you buy. For less money, and including a lovely OLED board and localist support (Nuneaton) I'd say look at a Vanguard Creed. Very similar but (IMO) smoother and lighter. You can pick a Creed up for around £180-£200 now, which makes them one of the best bargains around for a mid to high end tourney marker.

hey guys
Any other suggestions for a good hopper? Im looking to spend about £20-£30 approx.
Also how much different is the performance in a motorised one vs a non-motorised one? Considering im likely getting an Etek 4; which would be my best option?
Thanks!

Sorry I can't help on this 1 as I just saved my money and brought a rotor and never looked back. I've seen so many people buy cheap and end up buying a rotor in the end on P8nt you can pick them up for £70 all in now. Hope this helps buddy.

At the lower price range for hoppers then you've done the right thing with a Halo. Halo Too or Halo V35 are usually the choice to go for.
