      I've used both and found that macro-line is easier to use and looks better. Less expensive and disconnects nicely.

        macro line. it's much easier to work with, and much cheaper. not to mention, i've never had a problem with it.

          SS

          I prefer Stainless steel.

            Macro! If you cut it right and make sure you stick it into the fittings all the way, you'll never have any problems (that is, if you don't use co2 or run a super high pressure into the stuff).

              I run Steel braided for a few reasons. For some reason it looks really nice on my marker. It's easy to work with in my opinion. Unlike Macro fittings it's actually rated to work under pressure. And the final reason, occasionally I like to run about 1200 PSI into my RTPro and I don't think Macro would take too kindly to that.

                Depends. On a gas through fore grip I like to use both. Macro at the top run and SS on the bottom for that real tight bend from the grip to the tank that Macro doesn't like to do. Otherwise I like Macro. Thats what I currently have on the EMag.

                    I'm not running a gas-thru, just valve to flatline, hose going behind and then under the gripframe. I voted that way I could see the results each time I logged in here...I voted blowgun lol.

                      I always run my lines bowed out to the front. Not back and under. Looks nicer to me.

                        Yeah it looks nicer, but I have steel braided right now and it scratches stuff that way, and got in my way. Its out of my way like this.

                          I HATE Macroline, the last one popped on me, cutting my hand up real good. It was leaky too, go with SS

                            If you do get macro, be sure to get the good stuff. I think its Parker or something.
