At $20 CAD NIB, I surely would have bought both an EAT and a Spectre from Canadian Tire! But I was not so lucky. Would I take a $20 Spectre over a $30 Hammershot with far superior ergonomics and modding potential? Not sure.

Another thing to consider is that the original, yellow N-Spectre could easily be upgraded with a designated OMW spring, but the blue one could not due to a different plunger rod. Had I chosen to keep both for sentimental reasons, I might have been able to experiment with swapping guts.

Also, my eldest son and I came to a realization that motorized, full-auto water guns such as the Lightningstorm/Thunderstorm are not nearly as fun as manually pumped ones. Scatter Blast, Shot Blast, Tornado Strike and Rattler (Super Soaker) have a major advantage in that regard.
