Echo 1 hands down. AGM is actually one of the lower end guns and don't make that great of guns. E1 on the other hand makes excellent guns, especially for their price. All around, Echo 1 all the way, never by an AGM.
It really is not that huge of a difference between the two, Echo1 is just a lot better marketer. AGM (Along with JG and CYMA) makes the gun's that Echo1 re-brands anyway. Internally Echo1's may be a LITTLE bit better (or so they say, they claim to enhance their internals but I see no difference), but realistically they both will crap out around the same amount of time and neither are really that much better than each other. Having opened them both up many times, I can say that they are almost identical.
I used to be on board the "AGM sucks" train, but having upgraded my team member's guns that were made by them, I was actually pleasantly surprised with their internals. So don't judge them until you've seen them for yourself.
In the end, clones are clones. Go with whatever you feel is the better buy.
