Ion angel 05 speed or eclipse E1 cocker??

[drmaccon]

Thought id start a new line cause my qu had kinda changed a bit!

Playing for 18months casually using a spyder, can strip it n all that jazz. Am looking to play more n get into some more tourney ball and therefore want a new marker.

Can get a new ion (bout 140- would buy it from gizmos!) and mod it up, a second hand angel speed 05 for £200 (without air), or an eclipse E1 cocker with air for £220.

Really struggling to decide as i want a gun that looks good, hopefully wont break 2 quick and fires nice!
And i'm being a cheapass as my wife'll kill me if i blow tons on a marker!!!!
Sad days!!!

Would appreciate some impartial advice!

maccon!!!!

wait for the usual ION lovers to come in and talk crap but anyway

go for the speed if you can afford it ..vastly superior build quality to the ion ,much easier to maintain and a lot of gun for the cash ,only downside is it may be less tolerent of **** paint htan the ION but needs no upgrades at all

i wouldnt bother with the cocker at all

yeah i agree with that, buy the speed, get a second hand freak kit (or any decent barrel set before anyone moans ) and stand back and admire the quality

oh to save you looking here's quality speed 05 for sale

my e1 is 150 with air thats £10 less than a stock ion and u get air so not 220 cockers are great gats

like most things, cockers are great if you get a great cocker. I own a highly modded ion and a slightly modded evo-x race gun.

The race gun is a a thing of rare beauty. I never really liked eclipse cockers.

Ion's are fine if you like to fiddle with your gun, but i've spent about £200 getting mine how i'd like it, the racegun only cost me £165 posted, with a new noid and ti cocking rod, and i've done nothing to it, its just perfect

£220 for the speed 05 sounds a better deal. No need to buy expensive and useless mods, the speed 05 doesn't need any.

So no point in getting it spitfired then

Not really, it already has eyes.

on a side note, when the ionphiles do turn up, has anyone ever bought a stock ion that has eyes that work?

I know a few guys with ions, but never met anyone who got a factory fitted working set.
