Well if you have both of them why dont you try them out and see which one you like the best.

How can you easily test something like that? Unless they are really obviously different I think you would have to know what you were doing

Is it one of the new crossfires with the blue/red color?

Flow rate will differ somewhat between tanks, but nothing that will effect play unless you are shooting long strings at 16 or 20 bps. I wouldnt worry about it unless you start to see shootdown.

hey, i noticed when i filled the crossfire the reg will say around 4300, then an hour later it says 38-3900. On the hyperflow it stays almost right where it is. Any explanations?

gdamn you got a lot of ?
The tank lost pressure because when you fill a tank it gets warm (did you notice?) and when molocules are heated they get excited bounce off eachother more and therefore increase the pressure in the tank. when it cools down, less excited, less pressure. It should have dropped almost the same amount depending on the speed of the fill and the pressures you got from both of them. BPS has good actually 4500 fills metro west has really really crappy fills. if you have any of that air left i need to shoot your gun. ;)

id have to say the hyperflow because it is adjustable IIRC...
