Once they can have a smaller hump and have a battery, solenoid and board fit in there, I'll consider(no I won't), I'll buy one.

        I think that there are issues with the marker - that beign said I do not think it was bad engineering. Not being very familar with it I will point out that they tested this more than any marker I know of off hand, they tried different things, they tested, they changed... I think it is very well thought out, very well considered, and is a good job of engineering. I think everything does fit in without the hump - it almost looks like its added on to the back of the .45?..

        That being said I do agree wtih you that I don't like the hump, though it is surprisingly comfortable I am not rushing to buy one. Not that changing the hump would change that... I reiterate that though I beleive this is a better marker than the Ion the Ion cut its "Angelic performance Earthly price" angle.

          I happened to really like the feel of it while shooting, very comfy. As for the ION vs Diadem debate I would take one of these over the SP crap. IMO, Ions feel too cheaply built, and the Diadem feels much better. I own a AMP Illusion and I love it, works flawlessly and it a rock solid performer. If the Illusion is any indicator, the Diadem won't disappoint.

            the hump was but there for "egromonic" reasons
            but ugly and unneeded IMO

              I didn't clarify something I should have. I think, from the one I held and shot, from what I know of AM, and of what I know of the development of this marker that it is a better marker than the Ion - and I own an Ion.

              However "Angelic performance, earthly prices" did not just come to me in a dream (I think, I hope) something of that nature was on one of there videos. I just pointed out that AM had aimed for a market where they could be the "economy" "high end" marker. The Ion kind of cut that angle away from them.

              That being said yes I beleive the Diadem is a better marker - based on limited knowledge.

                  I know somebody who swears by the Diadem's performance.

                      Kudos to a company for not rushing the product to market prematurely, however.

                      Actually those guns all function on the exact same design principal.

                      And unless they changed something since, the ones I shoot as WC last year were based on the BKO design. Pneu Ramed to fire, spring return. I was quite suprised by that and the exposed hoses that can be seen here and there.

                      And I'll also just say this...not feeing that frame AT ALL. :)

                      BUT....

                      AM normally makes quality products which I make no negative claims about here.
