what marker to get?

[thump]

Well im looking at getting a new marker,,something that doesent cost to much $$ but is an all round good marker.I have narrowed the list down to 2 markers,,,


1-b2k3/4 with pds and choas board
2-ion

both of these markers sound fairly good for what i want/need at this point in my paintball life.
what are the pors/cons of each marker,,,this is not a VS thread,,i have read up on both markers but was just woundering for people whao own them what they like/dislike about them and what to watchout for.
Thanks for any input you can give.

get a nice ule mag

[MonsterMag]

if your doing touneys get the ion , for rec play get a mag

[Soopa Villain17]

u can use a mech mag for speedball , u can get em setup so they shoot like anelectro

What's your ceiling price with all upgrades accounted for.

I'd say go for a Paradigm if your playing Woods/Rec and are not trying to go "pro", yet still play speedball.

ok,,i already have a ule, x-valve mag.it seems i can even give this thing away,lol
should have listened to the guys at the field and just gotten something else to start with.

im just looking to move on to something eles,ive had the mag for 2 years and just want something new,i have it in the marker section for trade/sale.
i was just woundering about the other 2 markers as they are both in my price range.

if you try hard enough you can get good $ for the valve and stuff


what if you would have bought a cocker? no one would be interested TRUST ME!

or an electro that drops its price by more than a 1/4..

mags have great resale

ion-you get what you pay for(its the saturn of p-bal guns)

b2k3/4 ive had a few of these and loved them and they can be setup/customized nicely..if you choose

reliabilty hasnt been seen on the ion..and what has..isnt too good

go bushy or mag

[overkill8000]

of those two choices lcd bk

[onedude36]

I think a b2k4 will out perform an ion.

b2k no doubt

[mag88888]

simple decision......b2k!

[stop whining buy a mag]

This may be biased but I hate ICD. The wiring harness caused a nightmare for me. I got a brand new B2K4 with PDS and something was wrong with the wiring harness. After talking to ICD's head tech for a while he said send it in, I'll fix it. He replaced one little piece and simply sent it back. Never fixed the wiring harness. ICD customer service=

Ion no doubt, you can't trade up with a b2k4.

[logicmag19]

since it doesnt seem like the b2k5s are coming out any time soon and your money budget id go b2k4 w/ pds. the ion i think is overrated but that is my opinion. you can do alot to the ion though. its really your decision. i have heard alot of good and some bad about each of the markers. either way im sure youll be happy with what you choose.
