Is built better?
Slips into a pocket easier?
Falls over faster?
Would you rather own?

69, then roller, the EA in that order...not a fan of that lower button on the gg style mods
personally i think the gus telescopic is nicer looking than any of those though

uhhh...i beg to differ. I own 3 EA mods and they're just as good IMO if not better. THey have one spring (which is in the switch and can easily be replaced with magnets) springs go bad, are a PITA to source/replace if they're not the ones meant for the mod and that being said, the EA mods are 10x easier to fix if something goes wrong than most MODs because of the extremely basic/simple design, they are rock solid and by far the best design for durability i've seen in a MOD, the EA's are 10x easier to fix if something goes wrong than most MODs because of the extremely basic/simple design. The floating center pin is amazing and they are underrated IMO. I own 3... and have more of them on the way i love them so much. I passed up opps for a roller (seen too many buttons on those have issues/durability/serviceability) and 69, have zero interest in them. FOR ME the EA is the #1 MOD hands down. That's just my .02
Each person is different though. I wouldn't trade one of my EAs for two rollers or two 69's (if i had to keep them and couldn't sell them)

I have an EA on the way and two Gus Telescopics...so those.
I am probably going to put one of the gus's on the classies...only because I don't see the need for two.
The 69 looks nice but not nice enough for to chase down.
I don't like the look of the Roller, for the price they go for, I would need to like the look.

Then why pick the 69?
It's main selling point is the ability to move the switch from top to bottom, creating that style.... or not.
i agree. gus telescopic imo is the nicest looking out of them all. i have a roller only because my local store didnt have the gus in stock.
Well, I have a 69. I had a GUS Tele (if Perseas had come out with the telescope screw before I traded it I still might have it.) I am leaning toward the Roller...
None of the above. Check out the ELA by Super-T. You'll thank me. It should be ready in a few weeks. Theres a video on the first page of the ELA thread in the Super-T suppliers forum. Hands down, best telescope ever! Plus they're planning on adding a DNA 20 module and hybrid rba's, all of which will replace the existing top-cap. I owned an EA mod and sold it to get the ELA. Not to mention Super-T's lifetime warranty and rhodium plated battery contacts, it's a no-brainer!

Since I've never used either a gus or 69, I can't comment on them, but I do have an EA and I really like it. Seems to be very solid and well made, with a design that is as simple as my Stealth GGTS and works just as well. The voltage drop in the EA is miniscule, as it is in the GG, and the appearance is quite sleek and clean to my eye. The ability to run a Kicked 18650 in the EA is a nice bonus, although I usually run a Kicked 18350, same as the GG.
I think in whatever you decide, it's a win-win situation. All are great mechanical devices. I personally own an EA Mod and couldn't be happier. Virtually no voltage drop in the tests I have done.

Ha, I'll give you that. I probly should've said best telescope design ever, but still, just my opinion. I based mine on 2 main points: 1. Super-T's warranty and reputation, and 2. the design is unlike any other traditional telescope at least that I've seen. 2 tubes that slide to collapse/expand rather that 3 that screw/unscrew. Add to that the possibilities of the extra goodies to come and imo that's what makes it the best.

It looks cool and Super T has a great reputation, I've just learned to never declare something the best until it out.
Sorry for asking what seems to be the obvious question, is there a reason you didn't include a GG on that list? Both of the PV's I own now are telescopic, a Gus Telescopic, and a GG Stealth with telescope and top tube, running in 18650 mode. By FAR the GG is the better device as far as looks, form/design(button placement) and most importantly, performance. I replaced the SS 510 contact with a brass screw I cut down and it seems to perform a lot better, though I just did it less than an hour ago and haven't experimented with it yet. I also put the o-ring back in the base above the button and started flipping the batts positive side toward the switch and it made the throw tiny and harder hitting, but IMO it should have been ready to go out of the box (so to speak).
