I think the electronic issue can still play a role for "tournament" markers. We roll with Tippmann's (X7's and 98's) largely because we like the modding you have to do and because we like the brand in any situation. I've seen a lot more people playing with their hoppers and fiddling with electronics in Egos, Angels, etc than I ever dealt with, but all those brands are made VERY well and fun to shoot too and the quality has gone up a lot along with the reliability.

I just like the challenge of the Tips

My latest speeball crossover is a 98 C, vertical feed, RI magnetic trigger, ape board, with an LPK and some other toys to buy for it.

That should be a nice build, I trust your using the older style 98 and not the new platinum version?

I enjoyed fiddling with my 98 for hours on end, but I've not done anything to my Angel 1, although I may be installing the magno kit when some come in to the store. I've come to the conclusion that if you need to up it out of the box, you should have bought something else.

For a challenge I play with my SP1 on the speedball field. The daughter of the owner looked at my setup and said she was sorry, I'd have to play advanced because there were no intermediates that night, so I smiled and said 'I know'.

Like I play with intermediates

Yeah, was kind of bummed that the Platinum version doesn't have some of the parts needed to mod it out, because the clam-shell design never appealed to me. Oh well.

We have a good time although I've gotten a little snobby with my electo-whiz-bang-gizmo Tippmann and actually defer to my OTHER 98/X7 when I play scenario...on special occassions I'll break them out and let someone else use the non-electric versions.

this is exactly why I play both and alternate every other weekend (or when I can play) so I can get a better understanding of both realms...
