Hey Andy.... thanks for that!
What would you expect to pay for an 05?
May be alright in a month... you know what I mean

IR3 Spitfire Mod or New Marker?

Think they've been going for £250ish.
It's probably a close call between the two though, Olly had a spitfired angel a couple of walk on's ago, that was lovely.
And Warren's just had his spitfired, so ask him for a go of his on sunday mate.

It's upto you! I personally love my Angel Speed, and the spitfire mod on it makes it oh so much faster! The problem with 05 speeds and 4Flys is the fact that they are limited to semi. The spitfire board has all you need to play any league. Some people (like me) love the micro switch trigger feel compared to the opto board on the IR3 and up.
Following on from what John said, the iR3 is very efficient, (i've owned 2) and with Tom's new diverter it makes it 16x more efficient on top of that.

Luke,
The diverter gives 16x more airflow to the solenoid. In other words you need to shoot 16 times faster before you get any drop off.
Its not 16 times more efficient that would be insane!!!
Spitfired IR3 with a Stiffi barrell vs. Angel 05
Thats cool but what I'm really wondering....
Which is more:
Accurate
Chops less (under same conditions)
Really the "better" marker
Cheers, still undecided

Accuracy is more to do with your paint and your paint to barrel match than anything else mate.
And they'd both have eyes and therefore should both never chop.
I suppose that the IR3 would still be slightly harder on the paint and that could cause problems in extremely cold conditions. Like at the walk on in November, my IR3 was bursting paint in the breech but the A4 was shooting fine.
I dont think there really is a 'better' option between the two mate.

If i were you.....
I'd get an A4 Fly or Speed 05. You can pick one of those up for like £200 for a speed and even less for a fly. Bargain of the century. Not good for the seller, but muchos good for you. And in answer to your question that others have missed, the A4 and speed absolutely rip in comparison to the Ir3.
I had a second hand ir3 as my first gun - it was ok, reliable as any angel, but i never felt confident in its ability to keep me alive by gunning fast. So i went up in the world, happened to go brand new with a speed 05, and man they rip something awesome! There's no need for me to get a new one, unless WDP float me a nice offer on the latest bling. And similarly, the A4 that belonged to someone else on the team was just as fast as my speed - anything after the A4 is plenty fast.
And regarding the settings on the board, A4 flys and speed 05s do have ramping, you just need the latest software version, which most have anyway. Yes, the spitfire boards have more settings, but unless you're planning on going to the NXL you'll do fine with the ramping for the mills
