4500 psi tanks Is it smart to buy one?

[j.t.]

I was planning on buying a new Crossfire 4500 psi, 68ci compressed air tank but im not sure if its a smart buy. Should I buy an adjustable instead or do I really need one with a mag? Can someone help to clear this up for me?

You really don't need an adjustable tank with a mag unless you plan on getting a retro-valve for it. And even then you don't NEED one.

if your not to worried about a retro valve, then ya should look at that new brass eagle screeein adjustable type tank. unless your looking for somin more?

You don't really need an ajustable tank for the mag, but it doesn't hurt anything, exept your wallet.
As for a 4500 tank being a smart buy, that depends on several factors, a few would be...
Does your feild offer 4500 fills at all?
Do you play at a feild more, where fills are redially availible, and you won't use more then 3000 in a game, or do you play on a private feild, where fills are not redially availible?

Well i guess you need the full story to be able to help me. Get ready cause this is a long story.
I play at my local field right now and they currently dont have a nitro fill station, but while I am waiting I am saving up for a compressed air tank. It is only a matter of weeks before they get one. They will only be getting a 3000 psi fill station but they are selling 4500 psi tanks(very odd huh). There choices right now for tanks are only a 32 degrees 47ci, or a 68 or 88ci 4500 crossfire. Now usually at this point you would say to buy a tank online for a better price. Except that I just happen to work at the field. So I get discounts on tanks and if I were to buy a tank online my boss wouldnt be to happy.
OK, we're getting there, and you must be wondering why I want a 4500psi tank if they are only going to fill 3000.
It also happens that I am moving to an area where there is an idoor field which fills 4500psi. I will be traveling back and forth to the field (while my parents check out the construction on the new house i'll play paintball), and there I can get my tank filled at 4500psi.
I hope that this info will help you to answer my question better.

I would recommend either of the 4500psi tanks. It will work at both places, and I consider the 47cui tank to be very small, good for 500-600 shots at most.

Well, if you have the money, and can get a good price on the 4500, go for it. I get all day fills, so i can just fill up my 3000 as often as I have to. Although, a 4500 would be nice, for when i'm not at the field.

Thanks for the advice!
