I am having this same debate right now. I have a maxflow and a conquest and I have owned the 3k flatline and 4.5k.

Maxflow street price mid to low 300's
- I hate how the flow reg adjusts
- if you like to use Al 90* fittings for ultimate light weight you cant on the flow. the reg mounting ring is to close to all of the air outputs
- same as above with guages
- mine ang my buds both loose all thier air over night with the on/off in the off position
- real crapp mounting rail!

Flatline street price mid to high 300s
- nice on/off
- you can change outputs to where ever you want
- compact reg design
- easy to change velocity
- stock guages blow
- the mounting rails is nice. You can chew it up taking the tank on/off instead of your reg. Kuddos to AGD for that one..


I was chatting with Nero lastnight about dynaflows. I am trying to find some prices on them. I think they have all the advantages of a flatline but have the downline bleed on/off. My conquest works the same way. Its so nice to turn the tank off and its really off. Problem is I cant find anyone who carries the dynaflows...

EDIT: spelling
EDIT 2: lets be honest, i dont think there is a real difference in flow for our application bewteen the "nice" screw ins and pricey adjustibles

I would go for a macdev conquest, those are sweet tanks

just to throw something actually usefull in there

i have a dynaflow, they have some good traits well after i put some smaller guages on it i really like that it bleeds the air and is a compact tank if you see pic of my gun it rides so nice witha kapp micro drop.

the problems with the dynaflow are this you can jack up the rail and thats built into the reg it alwas makes you worry i saw one where the rail was ripped off cf fixed it but it was down time.

the on off i swear i have had to beat this thing with a stick to turn it off or on when i have a full fill. it is really hard not smooth like the agd on off.

lastly the pressure change is a bit much when the tank changes pressure between a low and full fill. watch it they migh catch you at the chrono, and you.


as for the agd flatline this one woudl be a perfect tank if 3 things happened,

better sstock guages taht dont crack
on off should bleed the air
color this thing black or silver pewter doesnt match anythign i have. black and silver will go with most peoples setups.

these 2 tanks are tied for best tanks out there for me worst one i ever owned was an angel air.

I agre with your 3 things but I still don't see $200 worth of goodness in a flatline to purchase another one. Anyone else.

I use a pure energy preset 68/4500 with my Xmag. I have no probs with shootdown that I have noticed and it does the job that it's supposed to do. I was thinking about buying a flatline for the purpose of having a spare airtank, but I think I'm just going to get another PE preset.
