iv tried both, and obviously prefer the speed. MAINLY because of my hight and build, the mini felt like something i would snap. all these big guys complaining about the weight of a gun... tisk tisk, go to the gym, boys! and as previously stated, the speeds run off 9v batts, and last ages.
they are also squaddie proof, in the sense
that there is a switch... flick it one way, the thing shoots, flick it the other way, it doesnt.
dont listen to Balf, he has aides.

Why is an angel a back players gun, are you saying its got more range and accuracy and shoots more paint. If so you're probably right on all counts.
I've not only shot, but owned both, I was seriously impressed by the Mini, but I would say that it is more complicated and fiddly to work in than the Angel. All guns have wear items, some are easier to see than others, on the Mini you'll need to change the o-rings on the bolt assembly, and lube it DOW 33 after each day's play. On the speed you need to put a couple of drops of oil through it every now and then.
If it is in good order and set-up well an 05 Speed will serve well, though set-up is important, they were pretty harsh out of the box and needed running in, then with the ram and pressures set right they will run perfectly for ages before needing attention. Though it is worth getting someone who really knows what they are doing to set it up right.
Like TheGurkha says, flick a switch and its on, flick it again and its off, Squaddie proof maybe, but I wouldn't say they were idiot proof, idiots take things they don't understand apart and screw them up.
The Mini I found pretty horrible out of the box, the trigger settings were horrid and it was well inconsistent over the chrono, after dry firing a couple of tank fulls of air through it and putting a bag of paint through it and re-lubing the bolt assembly it shot much better.
Personally I passed the Mini on, preferring my Angel One to it, though I thought it was an excellent gun for its price point, and the Speed is pretty much retired now, though earlier in the season it was still keeping other people in the game while their guns refused to work.
Hope that helps, both have their merits and you really should try if you can before you decide.
And how long did you keep your mini for "Copper Knob"ive used both these guns and i would go with the mini 112% there are so many better guns out there other than angels, i agree with balfaids dont get a angel, also dont listen to al
You used an Angel 05 speed for ages while you honed your skills and then followed the FAD for a mini which lasted you, what, 2/3 months.
Must be good

It runs fine on either...I believe you already asked this and I did answer you?
