I think A&B has nearly ever marker PE has made so what exactly were you looking for information wise?
I will say this..........I don't think you could find a more well made marker.

The boards and solenoids are pricey but I've never needed either
I don't clean my gun or put it away or do anything more than clean the barrel and lube the bolt and I've been shooting it that way for 2 years.
As for peoples experience with them, there are 10 members of A&B that have an Ego or Etek so that should tell you how we feel about them.....

Not "exact" prices....
There are essentially 3 different "ranges" of the markers. Although, to tell you the truth... there really isn't a "cheap" PE marker. By cheap, I don't necessarily mean price. PE guns are all WELL BUILT and very dependable. The price increases as you add options/barrel kits/ upgrades. All based on personal preference, but they keep increasing the efficiency and durability with each new marker.
Here's a "quick" marker run down. (And I own an Etek 2 and it's been one AWESOME Mowing Machine for well over a year)
Prices are based off of "B/S/T values i've seen around"--
The "low range" are called Eteks
Etek - around $300
Etek 2's - around $350 - $375
Etek 3's - *New for 2010* $450 and $600 (2 versions)
The "Mid-to-High" range are called Ego's
05, 06, and 07 Ego --- $500 - $650 depending on year/ add-ons
08 Ego - $650- $750
09 Ego - $750- $1000
The HIGH-end range are the SL versions (number after the L indicates year)
Sl66, SL74, SL8r, SL94 ---- those range anywhere from $600 - $1700
Ego 10's are hitting the market soon and will start at $1250.

I will also add that Planet Eclipse has the best customer support guy in the business with Gerry at PE USA in Rhode Island he is more than helpful in resolving problems and if you cannot catch him he returns your call within a day. To me this is a complete commitment to customer service. I will always use PE markers because regardless of the year or model they all perform
Outstandingly with minimal maintenance and they hold their resale value.
