I prefer the me03 not just bc I'm selling one I have two and I think the stylus even if you have used it for a long time is still under powered don't get me wrong I love my stylus but the mr03 has just the right amount of power it's between the spirit and thunder more towards the thunder though. It lines amazing and colors and does black and grey amazing. After ed upgraded the whole machine it's worth every penny I asked johndameart and he had nothing but good things to say about it before I got both of mine but I realized I only need one so selling one of them
