Major difference is weight and weight distribution (balance).

1. adjustable rear sight notch
2. length, weight and balance (Evo 10 is more adjustable in balance)
3. absorber
4. length of sight
5. trigger blade
6. rotable front and rear sight
7. electronic trigger (Evo 10E)

Maybe I forgot something...

Thank you..

Ok just looked up a few of thoose things.
Well it's seems that Evo 10e is gonna be the one I'll go for.
Just want to try out a morini 162ei first before I decide.
I know one dosent shot with the looks but I really like the estetchics of the Steyr and from what I've concluded it's not front heavy as many says. Not for me anyways.

Morini 162EI is little bit heavier on front than Steyr Evo 10E and is not so adjustable as Steyr (in fact Morini 162EI is not adjustable almost in any way). Morini 200 is more adjustable than 162EI (but still not so as Steyr) and is relatively light on front than Steyr (but you can use barrel weight). Morini 200 trigger feels better than Steyr (for me) and I like Morini rear sight. Steyr feels better in shooting - thanks to absorber it is realy stable.
And if you will have some problems with weight and balance, there is another option - you can get Steyr Evo 10E and Morini 162 in compact version (Steyr compact is 5 cm shorter, Morini 162 compact is 4 cm shorter).

Good answer thanks.
I'm most likely not gonna be purchasing a compact one.
Its most likely gonna be to light. My eyes is still set on a a Steyr Evo 10 hopefully a E version but not there yet.
I'm also gonna ask a person at the shooting club if I could try out his FWB p8x before I decide. One in the club thought its to light and we have the same taste in pistols so let's see.

The college team I help coach has both versions of Steyr LP10's. We are not going to buy any more compacts. If a student has trouble with the weight, we will install a compact cylinder on a full sized pistol.

Just another option...

I have found the option suggested by GWhite has worked well for me over the years.
In fact you can buy an Evo 10 with one long and one compact cylinder.

Yes, it is another option - you can take compact cylinder and use it with full size pistol. There is really a lot of options with weight and balance...

Another obvious difference is the pellet loading method: tray on the LP2 vs direct barrel feed of the EVO10.

I had an EVO10 for a year and didn't like the direct feed. Exit EVO10.
YMMV.

Ok alot of good ideas.
Appreciate it. We'll what I'm.mostly looking for is a good pistol to have for many years to come, parts isn't an issue overhere in Sweden.
But I don't want to tinker to much and want a reliable pistol.
Don't want to service all the time. Some say go with morini beacuse don't require the same a put of service as a Steyr.
Its just to bad beacuse i don't have an option to try theese pistols out before purchasing one either.
Its way to far to travel to try them out.
The ones I can try is FWB p8x and Steyr lp2
For me the weight isn't an issue so not looking for a compact pistol
but good advice to change the cylinder. Need to try that out further down the line.
And I understand that what feels good for one dosent Mena it feels good for the others.
And there's the question about electric or not?



I'm still more towards Evo 10 but I'll wait and see so I don't purchase something that isn't up to par on what I'm looking for

Here is nice comparison of Morini and Steyr:

I have both - Steyr Evo 10E and Morini 200EI and I agree with everything what he said.
