because SP just destroyed the "prestige" of the spool valve. Remember my comment on prestige marketting, its important to keep that prestige, and there was a certain prestige to the spool valve, be it well earned or not."Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.

I don't think DYE really cares what happens in the sub $500 category.
Nothing they sell even scratches that market. They will continue to sell $1000+ markers, and people will continue to buy them.
All I see coming from this between them is a lot of arguing from DYE customers trying to justify the added expense of their purchase. DYE need do nothing different, players buy their markers 'cause they want them. How they justify that to themselves is not DYE's problem.
I doubt they'll even notice . . . . . . .Ryan Shanks

There really is something to prestige marketing... In most high end products, you are paying a premium for the name/brand. you can usually get much more profit per unit sold. That being said, if you can sella whole bunch of moderately priced items, you'll make crap load of money too.
i think this gun really is revolutionary in terms of price/ performance. Think of it compared to most $300 guns and if it lives up to most of the marketing hype it will be awesome.sigs are overrated.Comment

Depends how many units you intend to sell, are able to sell, and the market you aim for. Tell Porsche theres no money in prestige marketting. Even GM has toyed with the idea of a hand built super car from time to time. Think of any car that sells for 60K+ - there are a lot of things that are marketed on prestige and sell well, Mass marketing is profitable, no doubt, but don't discount the profit potential of other forms of marketting - sometimes your product and your company are better served seeking other niches beyond mass marketing."Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.

So much hate, the features that gun has are amazing for 300, no gun in that range has breakbeam eyes. Definitely an awesome gun. Great backup gun for people that can't afford another 1k+ gun
