Those numbers are all just how many shots you're going to get off of it. the more psi and the more ci, the more shots. The rule of thumb is: 3k psi equals 10 shots per ci, 4.5k psi equals 15 shots per ci. Make sure your field can fill to 4.5k psi before you shell out the extra cash. The main worry is the output pressure of the regulator. Mags prefer 800 psi, so make sure the regulator is either adjustable to that psi, or preset at or around that psi. I use an 850 output, and that will work fine.
