    Both will work well.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

      I think both will do the job perfectly. I dont own a flatline system so i cannot make any comparison, but any adjustable tank that goes up to 1000-1200 psi should be ok i guess.

        I have a 3k flatline (68ci) that would not quite get there, even after about 6000 rounds of break-in on the valve. It was cranked all the way in and would double or sometimes triple, but not dependably. There was someone else on the forum last year with the exact same problem, but I could not find out how he got his gun going (he did). I think the 4.5K flatlines may be better at it.

        I ebayed a 4.5k/68 bottle and a mini-max flo. When I cranked it down, there was no question if I had reactivity. Makes it hard to snipe though. As you creep up the trigger you get burst of paint instead of the one sneaky shot you were after (oh well ). I can always turn the pressure back down (or not).

          I really enjoy my max-flo more so that a flatline.... I actually have two now don't know how that happened...

          I have it set at about 800 PSI and i have a lot of bounce... With the ULT i start seeing bounce at about 900ish psi...

          Its all preference but i choose the Smart Parts Inline Max-flo

              Ive had both, i prefer the flatline, the 'flo was to bulky.

                bounce is what a reactive trigger does... It is the reason why most people want an adjustable tank....

                The higher the input pressure the more reactivity(bounce) the valve will have...

                    Never tried the max-flo, but I've had a pretty good experience with my flatline (except for that one time the field didn't filter their air...)
                    you know you play this game too much when the neighbors stop fixing their broken windows...

                          My max-flo failed this weekend before the final battle I really suspect the locally compressed air. The output gauge looks fried and the reg blows out the vents. I wondered why my mag seemed just as reactive after I backed the regulator down.

                          I'll let you know how easy they are to rebuild.
