    I would recomend other guns besides the Angel and Xmag if that range but i'll stick to what you asked.

    Personally get a Speed. You'll save alot of money over the Xmag and I hate to say this but the magnetic trigger on E/Xmags isn't that much to rave about. I owned an Xmag and I played with the trigger for hours on end, I'm not exaturating. I found how I liked it best. It still wasn't fast. My trix is 10x faster for me easy, along with every other Timmy and Angel I've ever picked up. I've never felt an E/Xmag trigger that I liked.

    You'll find the speed blazing fast with just a little work. The sensi system isn't that great so pickup a volumizer kit, get your valve preassure down to 180psi and you can take the bolt preassure down enough to bounce off paint. You'll also get better gas consumption on the angel over the mag.

    Price wise you can pick up a like new Angel Speed for $600, where a used Xmag will still cost you $1200. 600 is a lot of money.

    Now if you want my recomendation for what marker would be best thats another story, eh.

      Hmmm,
      Well, they are both fine markers. And both have a certain image that goes with them. Both have incredible rates of fire. Both are accurate with the right barrel for the paint you are shooting. Both are top of the line markers.

      my advice top you is to shoot or play with each and see what one you like better.

        Doesn't the XMag come standard with cocker threads and the emag doesn't though?

          Angel A4 , it's only 2.29 lbs (almost 1/2 lb lighter than x-mag ) , better air effiency (1500 off a full 68/45k ) , you can get a brand new one next week, if you want a brand new x-mag it will take about 8 months to a year to get one.

          but the x-mag is a really good gun , works better with warp feed , and you can get it in a custom color.

              The Angel is nice but, for realibility nothing can beat a MAG. I have an X-Mag, awesome and realible. People around me own and trade, own and trade every marker out there. I still have my MAG and with very little service it is always there for me. Pick it up and it shoots.

                I owned both...here is the comparison I did some time ago:

                Paintball Talk is the main forum for Automags.org. Here is where we talk about the sport of paintball in general and make announcements relating to the forum and website.


                Note this is mostly my opinion so take it for what is is worth.

                  I have shot both but have not owned either. However I am waiting for my Xmag to come in as of now, if that tells you anything. I chose the Xmag for 2 reasons and that is it. I have an ecocker as of the moment but I chose the Xmag for 1 because it would allow me to tuck in tighter to my gun than my cocker does, due to the flying back block. Sure you can tuck in tight to half block cockers and imps and angels and trixes and just about evey other gun out ther but I liked the sleek profile of the Xmag body, compared to the fat angles and trixes, while having just a one tube design like the shocker. Speaking of the shocker that is a sweet looking marker and I would be interested in that over the Xmag if it were not for my 2nd reason for choosing the Xmag.The second reason I chose a Xmag is because I want to use a warp and the Xmag comes with a breech that allows me to use the warp and have a clean rail on the top of my gun. Sure the Trix has warp breeches available but once again I dont like how fat trixes are. Not to say that they are bad or anything it is just my personal preference. I want a marker that will give me the lowest profile with the highest ROF and the Xmag is that marker for me. Hope this helps you out man. Peace

                      Blazer, it doesn't need batteries, never breaks, eats co2, Palmer's has great customer service, you can order it exactly how you want it, you don't need to buy any upgrades, stock barrel is more accurate than any aftermarket barrel, you can get it wet, I can keep going on, but I'll stop now so you can hurry over to Palmer's Pursuit Shop and buy the best darn paintball gun in the world!

                            Since your still on a beginner marker (your spyder) I would upgrade to a high end mech marker. like a classic, mini, micro, or RT pro. The X-valve is a must though.

                            but if you NEED to go straight electro (which I still don't recommend) I'de go E-mag. they're cheaper then X-mag AND angel. But still as good. Plus there is no waiting period, and TONS of upgrades you can still do with it.

                              go with the x-mag. that way if you somehow drop your gun into the toilet, it will still work.
