the ego is a decent idea and the give is ok, but the not being able to have a single turn vise and a plastic vise at that, and no having the nipple bar secured inside the head unit is a big problem to me .... However that being said I have ran a v3 and I am positive it would never outperform or outlast a hyper v3 is what i am saying.. especially with the stroke length you can get out of a v3, which with the proper volts can do almost anything.
