Is a mag really that much better than a piranha/spyder?

In my opinion save the mag. Upgrade to a Retrovalve when you get the cash and you'll have way less the short strokes and increase bps. I have a Benchmark 2x frame on my Micro RT and it isn't bad once you get used to it. I owned a Shutter at one time as well and I ended up getting rid of it cause with the money I was using to upgrade it with I could of bought a nice RT Pro or Emag by now. Oh well. Good luck on your choice. Oh I'm also a rec baller for now.

my brother was trying to sell his RT for 300 and nobody took it. He ended up trading it. You can get a lot for $350.

well you can easily get one that's just as good for $350. if you look around long and hard enough you can probably get something a little better. it's up to you. good luck.

I guess I'll be the only one to stick up for the Piranha. Pirnahas beat Spyders with a brick any day. And unlike Kingman, PMI has standards. No ugly weld marks on the feed necks, and they don't whore out their markers with electronic frames and call them everything under the sun. They have a new marker almost every day now. I'm not saying a Piranha is better than a Mag, but it is better than a Spyder. I used to own a Piranha STS G2, and that thing ripped like hell. I only ever broke maybe five balls in the 10 cases I put through it. It was a fantastic marker, and it only ever let me down once, and that was because the bolt did some weird number, but it only lasted a second before it was back up and running.

as a Spyder owner and a previous Mag owner, i will share my input.

get a Mag! no, really! Mags are very simple to maintain then a Spyder and will not need to be upgraded immediately. there great shooters out of the box. and for around the $350, you really cannot beat it.
