Time to Upgrade...
- Thread starter Spinal
- Start date
OK... update time 
So I've called up my divesite, and booked in my cylinder for a checkup... I really hope it passes, as it's been sitting in my loft for all too long now!
If not I think I may need to wait a bit...
With some luck, I'll get my 15l cylinder back in the game, which will mean I just need the fill-station valves... so I'm looking at:
> £200ish for the marker
> £50ish for the fill-station valve
> £50 for a new air-bottle
so £300ish... assuming my cylinder passes... fingers crossed!

If you want a milsim/woodball marker then the BT TM-7 is probably the best around at the moment. It's based on the Invert Mini and bodied to look like an MP7. It's light and rips 20 bps on the standard modes. Stick a longer barrel on it like a dye ultralite and it is just as accurate as any gun as well.
TM-7s are like £350 new now.

I would personally go for the SP Vibe. The main reason being it can run on both Co2 and Air. As well as the fact that it can be upgraded to a large degree. For example, I have a Vibe with.......
Clamping feedneck
Sly grips
L7 tech bolt
Custom Parts barrel
Blackheart board
(And soon to change reg)
And can say without a doubt its a great marker. Its not the lightest, fast, indestructable Etc marker, but it will get you through most competitions/games without any major problems. Plus the body can be sprayed quite easily if you want to make its dark shell a bit more Vibrant. And for the price its not the end of the world if you break it.
Oh and a few more points. I've try and tested many other markers and not many are as easy as this to clean, you do have the Tippmans and a few others but in terms of cleaning time this marker is quick. Anyway as soon as mine is back from LIPS I'll post some picture to give you a clue of how nice these Vibes can look.
Now I know you can argue that with the extra upgrade cash you could get something better, but its nice to have something less common than your typical popular marker. (I know way to many people with ego's and ions, so I like to see something that leaves the observer curious, wondering what it is so to speak).
