Which should you buy?
The XM2we is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 14.4 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the XM2we if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. The biggest gaps in its favor are max dpi, battery, weight, among others.
The EC3-CW similarly doesn't carry a headline advantage on the popular specs — look at the full table for category-specific deltas.
Both ship with comparable polling rate, wireless, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the XM2we is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
