dude i had a triolgy comp to start with, it's a nice lil marker for woods ball, but there is no way that a mech marker can keep up on a tourny field, i moved to SP Ion's (so did the rest of my team, and WCU all use them) and to be honest it's the best thing i did, with the small up's on it, it holds up loverly with tomahawk paint.
you can e-blade a trilogy, but it will cost a small fortune, but if you are wanting to play tournys you're better off getting an ion as a starting marker.
As for the comment about them being plastic... mine has a alu bad habitz body on it, and alu reg cover, looks the nuts, and not plastic.
