I'm in the same situation, these are my choices.

1-EGO: I could not belive that thing... smooth as hell, efficent like none other, and FAST!
2-FEP Quest: Light, small, 8 o-rings (3 of which hold air), 1 moving part... not including the trigger.
3-ION: They really are nice little guns. Drop $400 into one and you have something equivenlent to the true high ends, and still $500 cheaper.

My $0.02

Get a custom milled Viking. Very efficient markers, very fast, and very reliable. If you dont want used maybe a Cyborg. I have never used one but I hear they are very nice.

beat me too it, as soon as i read "efficent" and "money is no object" i thought viking. borgs are awesome too. if you have money DO NOT buy an ion, its fine, but if you have money get something thats actually nice

Only Cyborg.

Right now you can get fully upgraded Sonic Cyborg for only $780. Or if you got cash get Cyborg 06 for $975.

After breaking in it shoots 2500 balls on 68/4500. Very low maintanance.

you cant go wrong with a Ego, DM6, PM6, Quest, or borg. i would stay away from any angel, anything AKA, and e/x mags

Superstock AC can be found for about $400. Good efficiency , might take a little more maintenance than a mag but well worth it. Heck if you have the cash snag a new Karny. matty Marthal is selling his personal ( back-up) marker on ebay at the moment , no serial numbers, very rare.

and your reasoning would be...?

and your reasoning would be...? i assume you just thought of the "flavor of the month" markers and listed them...?
well i have played and have teammates with all the guns listed. those listed to get are the best on the market with new technology being used. the viking is outdated, heavy, loud, ugly looking marker, and AKA is dead. the mags are also very outdated and not air efficient at all if you dont have all day air. they also weigh alot and are over priced and AGD is pretty much dead also. you can get a marker that is A LOT better for the price of a e/x mag. i dont like the 3 tubes of an angel and the people that i know that had them had nothing but problems with them, and they knew how to take care of their stuff. So they are not some noobs that dont clean or take care of their markers. you may call it "flavor of the month" but i have personal experience with each and every marker listed. i never buy a marker b/c some pro is using it. i bought my pm5 b/c its a great gun and has everything that i look for in a marker. my brother got a pm6 b/c we have connections with proto and got an amazing price on it. i know alot of people on here love AGD and AKA but there are better guns on the market for the money.

for one...you have yo give ions more credit than that( ihave shot one....kinda hard to get a rythym on but ok) and second......do you know the situation on d-mags,,,,,its a nightmere...i acctually considered it when they first introduced them....glad i changed my mind.

I already have seen the light, I own an X-mag. And this is starting to turn into a flame war...so...after this last immature comment by me, lets be sensible guys about this, and respect each others oppinion.
