hmm i don't over like that saying that impulses are things the kids buy because they can't afford angels.
the only reason angels are expensive is because they make the thing so that it can eve tell you what weather it is going to be etc etc.
Lots's of useless features.
don't get me wrong angels are nice verry nice guns and i would pick a stock angel over a stock impulse.
But once you get looking in to the impulse marked a bit then you will realise you will get one that outperforms an angel for less money.
now choosing a marker is a verry personal thing. the first i would sujest is to try all the markers you are interested in. how do they feel to you?
now i am slightly byassed towards impulses so here comes my ratings.
stock impulse 90(towards a stock angel lcd)
tricked out impulse 150(depending on wich one, examples: nasty impulse, adrenalin impulse,...)
for more info on the impulse you can look at
