It only makes it better if your impulse doesn't already have one. There are two main identifying features of the cricket-board: the chirping sound is one, and the flashing blue LED at the back is the other.
The cricket is available as vision or non-vision if I remember, though you'd be mad not to have vision nowadays (unless you bought a REALLY old impy, which can't be drilled for vision).
The main difference that you'd notice (if you have fast fingers) is the rate of fire - I won't post exact numbers because everybody claims different, but the ballpark figures are *something* like 17bps and 25bps. There are also subtle differences to the way dwell is set, the vision paint detecting system, etc etc. All good. General rule of thumb, if u can get hold of a cricket for not a lot more money, then do.
If you want more info then either do a search on here for "cricket", or look it up on
www.impulseownersgroup.com - loads of useful information on impies there!
