In my view, the same thing that happened to the shocker is happening to the Angel right now. The angel was revolutionary, and to its credit, it is one of the most worry free markers available. I like the little messages that show up on the screen when you do certain things, too. But intimidators are as fast and provide more shooting stability, matrices are faster and run on low enough cycling pressure not to chop paint, e-cockers are as stable as it gets and as fast w/ anti chop, imps are lighter (I think) shoot just as quickly and cost far less, excalibers are as fast and more stable. Almost all these markers are less expensive than the Angel. All are as reliable given proper maintainence.
Why be jealous?
I can't see a justification for the expense associated with what is no longer a standout.
