ok I wrote a huge thing out last time and my comp crashed as I finished, so I'll make this short....

I wanna get either an Autococker - Shocktech or Black Magic because of how well they are and how they handle and because they are cheap

OR

I wanna get a Dark Angel LCD - because they pretty much handle like the best, and I will never have to buy another marker for a long time.

I would like to get a marker that I know I will never have to get another for awhile, like top of the line I guess. I'm working for the guns this winter, and I would like to get your opinions on it. Thanks much :D

Try to borrow one of every marker on your shortlist for a tryout, even if it's just a few shots over the chrono. The feel of a cocker & and Angel are very different & you may well find that you love one & hate the other

Yeah I'll prolly go for handling the angel-autocockers first off. That's pretty much the basic and first thing to do, I kinda over looked that ^_^;;

The Dye Autococker looks nice tho.. :) I'll try them all out though. I just gotta wait till I get back home to good ol Southern California, I'm on vacation with my fiancee' in Canada. Nice parks out here I'm told. Hopefully I'll go visit one.

Anyhow thanks much, and for the whole penis enlargement, grow up plz :/

Cocker

I would go for the cocker.

If you are worried about the rate of fire, you can always upgrade it later.

Especially as Planet Eclipse will soon be bringing out a new electric gizmo.;) ;)

I'm looking over at the Dye Autococker site right now, they look pretty nice actually. I might try the autocockers first now ;)

I was checking out the WDP's site, those angels look awsome too.. I guess it will come down to basically how the gun feels in my hands and how it shoots for me.

Wonder why no one is rooting for the angel?

I'll speak up for the Angel, as I adore my lovely blood red Dark LED. Trouble is, when you start a thread like this you'll get mostly personal likes & dislikes posted rather than technical pros & cons like closed/open bolt, electro/non-electro.
The 2 markers shoot, feel & look very differently. I personally have never go on particularly well with cockers (though I agree they are a great marker), whereas a friend of mine who adores cockers just can't get on with my Angel. Another friend owns both & likes both (a very rare person!). As I & others have said before, try both as that's the only way you can decide.

Well then could you give me the pros and cons on your dark angel? I already know some about the auto-cockers since most of my friends own one. They either have an auto-mag, one owns a Spyder E99, or just all auto-cockers. Thought an angel would be good to have more of a variety of I guess :p
