In a way they are the same except if you get in the more fine details you will notice that the echoc 1 is better quality. In most cases with will have a slightly better gearbox, etc. Also, if you live in the U.S., then you can get replacement parts and other things because they are located in the U.S. While Jg is located in china or someplace like that.

In the end its up to you, both guns are technically the same, however if you want a slightly higher quality gun than you can choose echo 1.

Echo 1 is simply a JG rebrand, meaning it's the same gun. Quality will be the same, but quality control will be better on Echo1, meaning you have less chance of getting a messed up gun. Also, customer support will be better from Echo 1. In the end though, it's the same gun.

Go with JG. They are a pretty dependable maker. Look here http://www.airsplat.com/JG-(Jing-Gong)-GB-(Golden-... They have good prices on the JG. If you're a budget, that's a good thing. :)
