Which should you buy?
The Thorn is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 24.7 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 Thorn 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, polling rate, 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 wireless, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Thorn is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
