Tex knows his stuff, and JG puts its name under several brands including ECHO 1. So from what he has said, yes it is the same. Even if he has no experience with this rifle in particular, several of the concepts relating to "clone" rifles can be compared to here.
His post is similar to the point which I made in PM. The extremely high FPS output makes me think the trigger box will give out rather quickly. Just like other JG rifles. This applies to other clones out there as well. Therefore, that is the thing that concerns me the most. Even though the Review on the website you have linked states the box is reinforced, this means very little, as it could very well be a person from the company just looking to sell some dough.
Seeing as I am not sure 100% which parts work with this rifle, you would be better off going with something more well known, with a variety of upgrade/replacement parts such as a UTG/Bar 10. Now keep in mind these are clones, and in "stock" form, these are not the best. Their parts are cheap, and break easy. However, the availability of upgrade parts make them worth buying. If you have more money right off the bat, and do not plan to upgrade for some time, a TM VSR 10 would be right for you.
After the last few days of thinking about this, I have come to a few concluding statements.
1. I would not risk buying something so new to the market, which is most likely just another "clone".
2. The lack of knowledge that anyone has on this rifle makes it difficult to...
-upgrade
-Dissemble/Assemble
3. There are other rifles out there that can perform extremely well, and are recommended. I suggest going with one of them instead.
Hope this helps some. I feel like I have given you more info than I did PM. Just needed some time to think it all out.
