The 2700 feel very sturdy, and it pumps very smoothly. I think Larami should of made it a four nozzle gun, and put a 20X in with it. The violet colored casing over the nozzles makes it difficult to adjust, so I tore it off and labeled the nozzels. Don't be afraid to. It looks stupid anyway. Despite the smooth pump, it's kinda hard to grip the right way. If you hold it like a normal pump, it'll bend and maybe break(I've gotten used to pumping it now), though it should have a guided pump like it's predecessor 2500. It does take a lotta pumps to fill though, but so does the 2500. It's a pain in the butt. I'd rate the guns the same, because the 2500 is more powerful, but it's pressure tank is awful. It stands up very well. One of my enemies threw it across my driveway, and I picked it up without a scratch.
