I think the title says it all. They all put out a pellet with the same speed and accuracy, so what else is there?

Balance, total weight, cocking effort, grips apparently make no difference to Mr. Rover. Others may have other opinions.

Wrongo!
Are you saying there IS a difference in any of the categories you mentioned? (Well, maybe grips..)

It could be that my hand and arm are delusional, but the 103 puts less strain on elbow & wrist than its predecessors. Remove the cocking lever and it's a big difference.
On the other hand, as I've learned from years on Targettalk, if it doesn't matter to Mr. Rover it doesn't matter.

Having both a 102 and a 103 I find the balance of the 102 lending it a touch more stability for me (some days that is). With their specified weight both at 2.5 lbs the biggest difference is in cocking effort with the 102 at a mere two pounds due to the twin lever design and the 103 at 12 lbs which is still quite manageable. For me the 103 with the lever removed is too light and an odd balance to boot. Velocity is as Rover states pretty much the same range for any of the three. All top choices in SSP design IMHO, great guns.
