Not much good apparently (although they are shiny). And I'm not just saying that 'coz i want to sell you an evo...
Nasty nasty markers... one of the lads I know from Brum had one and had nowt but bother with it... reg and 3 way used to sprout leaks, and so did the valve!! He hated the thing especially considering the £1000 price tag he paid for it

yeh, they only leak out of 1/2 the places on the gun that can leak instead of all of them
dye cockers look pretty, but are crap if you actualy want to use them to play paintball.
by all means buy a dye cocker, but don't expect evo\planet build quality, it has after all,been mass produced, rather than built in small batch runs like british cockers are.
the pneumatics and valve are relatively new on the scene and have not had the development, refinement and fine tuning that more common but more reliable products have.
if you can get one second hand by all means spend that saved money on more reliable components for what is a very sexy cocker body!
These are only my opinions based on observation and talking to owners of dye cockers, and should be treated as such!!!

IMO, if it has moving parts, and the DYE name on it, it's going to be trouble.
A few months ago, I had to work on a DYE cocker. I was shocked as soon as I pulled the hammer out. The thing looked like it had just come of the rough finishing step on a lathe. Ridges you could not only see, but feel with your fingertip. The valve wasn't much better. The three way is just a System X copy, with all the same down falls. The reg looks nifty, but spikes like a madman, and leaks like a screen door.
The end result was the gun was gutted, the body kit and bolt are the only things left on it that remained the same. Shoots great now.
Sad thing was, there were even some machine marks in some of the lower points of the milling on the body. Just plain sloppy work.
Buy an Evo.
