    freestyle definetly. I personally hate the older timmy's, and i'm trying to tell my friend to not buy one and get an alias instead, and i've had some troubles with my ion...

      The Ion is the best bang for your buck right now as far as new guns are concerned.

            I'd get the Freestyle personally, but if you don't have the budget, get the Ion. The Intimidator has way too much recommended maintenance IMO.

                my ion hasnt let me down yet but I havent used it all that much. It is the most resonable priced of the three. if not working on a small budget I'd have to say freestyle.

                  Ah, there is hardly any maintenance required on a timmy. I lube the regs about once every 4-5 game plays, or if I get FSDO. Other than that, turn it on and go play. And a reg takes all of 3 turns to undo. If you spend more than 2 minutes maintaining you timmy, you've screwed something up bigtime.

                      That is definitely true. My alias is probably one of the easiest guns to maintain that I've ever owned.

                        ive owned my fair share of cockers, mags and impys and want something different. Ive seen freestyles on ebay for 450 range and was leaning towards one of those.

                          FREESTYLE. my teemate has one and when ever I am over i play with that think. Its small, light, Looks really good and Freakin rips. Now thats a bang for your buck......... Lets put it this way, Pro teams using ion ------- non. pros using Freestyle, naughty dogs, the ducks or whatever they are called, and i think another. Great gun

                            If we as paintballers/you as a paintballer at at the point where Timmy maintenance is too much to handle, we/you have some issues that need to be worked out.

                              We're not saying that ions are better when compared to freestyles on a level playing field, they just cost a few hundred less. It depends what you want, affordability, or completely-unnecessary-ripping-ability-that-you'll-never-be-able-to-take-full-advantage-of-without-ramping-software b/c your fingers can't move that fast anyway. I say get the Ion.
