Plastic<aircraft aluminum
The Halo is autoclavable, you can change the motorbolt (which from what I understand will also be the drive motor for their next machine), you can change the stroke by buying one of 4 $25 stroke wheels, it's not too light. Those are my main reasons.Quote:

Same thing here, I have never tried an EGO either. I didn't mean it to knock what you were saying, I was meaning to add to what you said.
Biggest difference performance wise is that the ego has a larger range of give options as the halo only has a small range of give.. The plastic doesn't bother me at all .. And I have had no problems with my egos or my halos..
For me I found the ego to have too much vibration with disposables and didn't like the noise. Although I did like the shape of it and position of RCA socket. It pushed the ttech system fine and the give worked.
The only down side to the halo is its almost twice the price.
Seems like the main things that people don't care for on the ego is the vice because you have to install a nut or use your finger to hold the screw in place and the noise/vibration. The main things people don't like about the Halo is the price and the vibration over 8volts. I'm gonna say get one of each, try em both and sell or trade off the one you like less and get a second of the one you fancy. I need one more whip and then it's ego time for me. I have 4 halos, and will probably buy 2 egos when I make my order. To me there's room for many things...the more options you have at hand the less you have to compromise when working to achieve specific results. Mick-
i run both, and love both the price point on the ego is great if you dont mind the plastic, honestly i would try and get hands on with both, do you want the machine for any specific use?
Ego is a monster liner! And its a powerfull motor good for colour too, but by far the noisyest rotary i have ever heard!!! Almost coil loud! I think the halo would be more precision.. the ego is loud but effective..
