Will a custom cocker like the STO or Eclipse shoot signifcantly better then a stock WGP one?

I'm not concerned with whether it looks better, feels lighter or matches the colour of your jersey better ;) but the important things like shooting further / straighter etc. enought to warrant the hike in price you would pay.

the stock marker will not be as consistent as a custom,or as easy to shoot quick.shooting staighter is down to the barrel,most people buy after market barrels anyway(exept angel owners as the stock barrel is meant to be good)
its like comparing a moped against a fireblade,both will get you there,but the blade is going to do it quicker

I do not feel there is a tremendous difference in stock vs. custom cockers. The stock cocker is great right out of the box. Most custom cockers' mechanical differences usually consist of changing the feel of the trigger pull, lowering the pressure, and improving consistancy. That being said, one of the major reasons that people but custom markers is because of the looks. Most of the cost in high-end custom markers lies in the extra milling, anodizing, and exclusivity of the marker. Like the KAPP flame cocker- that thing is sweet!:)
