    I have both. Really just boils down to preference. I use my centerfeed (ULE Mag) more than my powerfeed (Minimag & Automag), but sometimes I just like to shoot a stock-looking gun and use the automag or minimag. I think the centerfeed will theoretically feed faster (correct me if I'm wrong guys....) than the powerfeeds. I dont sight down the axis of the gun, I just watch where the balls are going and adjust my fire accordingly.
    A Halo will work fine on a powerfeed body, so go with your preference.

      It depends on the hopper. Since your planning on using a halo its all preference, both centerfeed and powerfeed willl feed at the rate of the force feed hopper. The powerfeed just gives you a ball shutoff and a different siteline.

      For gravity feed hoppers or agitators like a revy the powerfeeds give you a longer ball stack, meaning the feedtube is longer allowing a longer stack of balls to be ready to be shot.

      The powerfeeds are nice for the simple reason of the ball shutoff. When I air up my mags it always shoots right when I air it up. If I forget and load paint into the gun before I air it up it shoots a shot and breaks in the barrel condom. Also if you did get a barrel break you can shutoff the ball feed and clean the barrel easier. I use a centerfeed ULE mostly though.

        WOW! Your mag fires as soon as you gas up? thats not good,even with the ability to shut off the ball feed.
