I'm thinking on getting a new gun, i don't play that much. But i want a gun that can handle Tournys or just the tipical weekend day. And that i won't regret to keep it just sitting on its bag in an "off" season.

From a practical standpoint, skip all three and get an eXTCy. It can handle tournament play and do pretty much everything else the others you mentioned can, and it is cheaper so it won't be such a waste when it's sitting for long periods on end. All three of the markers you mentioned will depreciate in value very fast in comparison.

If you don't like that idea, here are the main things to consider...
The Etek is simple, the Reflex is comfortable to hold/play with, the Etha has the most attractive price.

The etek Is probably the gun for you. It just always works. It just does. I wouldn't feel guilty sticking one in the closet for 4-6 months, Because I know I can pull it out and it will work. Is it loud? Yeah. Can you tune it? Yeah. Will it help much? No. Is it simple and reliable as all hell? Yee

Whichever one you like, they're all solid markers. (assuming the Reflex13 doesn't have some horrific issues come from nowhere and performs similar to the 12)

Is the Etek in comparison as loud as a 98c?

You are not going to get much more out of an Etek (besides efficiency here) or Reflex compared to an XTC. I would save up for a used supergun (Bob Long, high end Dye/PE) as your next best option.

Keep the extcy! It's a great gun. If you really want something different and are willing to spend a little, get an axe or a dm9.

They're a bit louder actually. The Jackhammer analogy isn't that far off.

I would save up for a Drone DX, the eXTCy will be a great back up marker. You should have a high-end mask and pod pack though before you upgrade the marker.

I recommend a E-flex mask and Critical pack if you don't already have one. :tup:

The reflex is the best choice between these. Super great trigger, SUPER great ergos. Really smooth and relatively quiet. Has a good and easy board too. And I personally like the feed necks. The only reason I'd get an etek is for the packaging, customer service, or reliability. But don't get me wrong, the reflex is very reliable, but nothing beats stacked tube in that category

Yes,yes,yes. But I think you should get a 2012 reflex rail over the 2013 because nothing has really changed except for the milling which I think is uglier.

Eteks are kind of weird ,

I have played with one guy who sounded like he was shooting a musket and I have played with one guy who made my Rail sound like a poppit i think it just depends on how broken in it is and what ups are in it...
