guess its a case of try both and see what you like

also in the same price range, 350 will sort you a NICE shocker, pritty much every sort of bushmaster, every flavour of mag
might be worth shopping around....but id say 2nd hand is the way forward

right, i'm not going in to the big old debate of marker accuracy, but i personally think the gun has very little to do with accuracy.

The idea of eblading is a bit stupid in this context. to fire at a rate SLOWER than an impy with an i-frame, you need to spend £350 on top of your cocker, but the impy is faster with a £100 upgrade!!

i think that...

both guns are as upgradeable as each other...the impulse has the advantage of speed over the cocker however the cocker has better groupings at range...there is of course an element of how technical the guns are... in comparison the cocker is way more complicated if you want to get it running sweetl what with timing and all that...whereas with an impulse you just take out the hammer assembly, give it a clean off, whack it in turn your gun on and off you go... i find impy's to be reliable guns however i haven't ever owned a cocker so i wouldn't know...
just my 2 p

The cocker Impy, accurancy thing is a little off IMO.

When I fire my Impy (short of a break) the balls go exactly where I am looking and for the length of a supair field I don't think that accuracy is such an issue. (of course you need to be accurate but the distance it has to travel to be accurate is less than the woods)

Both markers are upgradeable and would do you fine, its personal pref. As you can tell the Cocker/Impy argument rages on and while I own an Impy I shot a mates Evo Cocker (non electric) at the last tourney and loved it. I however love mine as well.

Impys are easy to clean and fix bar citcuit board problems that I have never had.

Try both and see what you think, you may like one and not another

ok i been looking around and i found a website, standard Impulse marker and Autococker for same price... which? :p
If it was a stock cocker Id say go for the Impy, quicker out the box for a tourney (as in rof) but if you have extra to upgrade then a race frame or e-blade on the cocker would be great
