What one of the two would you recommend for my LCD with the view of going to an IR3?

Cheers

I have stopped using intellifeed on Angels a long time ago.
In theory it's great, but when the little motor has to get it's electricity from the Angel's battery, it's seriously underpowered. So getting a HALO is a smart plan, or if you're not willing to fork out that kind of money for a hopper, get the Re:Load set through Diablo Europe, it'll make your revvy substantially faster.

Agreed completely!

The re-load is also a good bit of kit. I have that in my agitating loaders and it's the best agitating system I've ever used. Beats the X-board, Turbo Rev and Pre BE Revs in my opinion.

One small observation that's sometimes useful for back players is that the EvoII's lid can be kept open while firing and not be all that prone to spilling paint if firing from a steady position. Also, availabilty might at some point become an issue: Halos have been known to be frequently sold out, so if you need one and have a tourney coming up, you might be more able to find an EvoII in a pinch.

Apparently Halo are just in the process of ramping up production so there should be a lot more available in the future

Personally i think the Halo is really ugly and is too big and heavy. But i see it is the only way to go, for the guys with e-blades and the like...20bps+ if you gave me one i wouldn't say no...

Halo or eVLution 2

We have chosen eVLution 2 but there are fors and against for both loaders, so I'm afraid the only way you'll really be able to choose is to play with both.

Bad

The Halo and spares are expensive, it is the heavier of the two, 6 AA's!!, they can double feed angels and will double feed matrix's when you use small paint, top of the loader is at a strange angle which forces you to hold your marker in an un-natural position when potting, it is a bitch to clean and it is harder on the paint, can be tricky to turn on and off with gloves.

The eVLution 2 is harder to dis-reassemble, slower than the Halo (17-20 bps), seems less robust, sits right back (can catch your peak) and the on off switch is fragile.

Good

The feed rate of the Halo, the feed rate of the Halo, the feed rate of the Halo.

The eVLution 2 profile means the front target area is none existant, less expensive and cheaper spares, holds more paint, the lid acts as a funnel, soft on fragile paint and two PP3's.

please chuck in any other points I missed
