I am going to go with the Eclipse II. I've heard that if you have a problem with keys fading, you can just paint a layer of nail polish over them. Protects them from rubbing off. I'll probably do this with mine when I get it.
i had the saitek eclipse for a few months, but sold it to a friend and bought the eclipse II, i like it better. now i have the merc stealth though, its way better then either of those.
