Help Me Choose My Next Marker
The recent "What's your favorite non-Automag/Autococker marker?" thread got me thinking maybe I should try something else. To recap, I've owned a Spyder, Automag (Classic to ULE), Autococker (mech to E2), Maverick, Nerve, and an X-Mag. Due to the responses in the aforementioned thread for the Mini/Axe platform, I'm leaning that way, especially since it appears to be a poppet/spool hybrid. I'm interested in something that functions differently than what I've already owned. I think I've covered poppet and spool valves, so let me know if there's some other mechanism out there that I'm missing.
I'd preferably want something used, since I'm quite happy with my current arsenal. The new marker would just be for tinkering at first. That said, I guess I'd rather spend a little more up front to get some of the newer features, so I can tell if I like it better than what I've got. If I have to spend more than, let's say, $500, I'll need compelling evidence why. It can be another poppet or spool, but again, I'd want compelling evidence of night and day differences to what I've already owned.
Please give me your opinions. Thanks.
