    Posted: 19 March 2006 at 12:59pm
Will a "Nitro-Duck" 68 4500 work well with my setup?  I can get this tank cheap and it was hydroed last year.  I need a tank with a relatively good refresh rate because of the response trigger.

Would it be worth spending an extra $30 to get a crossfire, or will this serve my needs fine?

Please help!!

Nitro Duck are in my opinion, the best next to MacDev Air.

Thanks, that's all I needed to know :D

Also, would it be a better deal to get the 68/4500 nitro duck for $130, or a 88/45 Pure Energy for $130?

And... are these good deals to begin with?

Usally I'll say Crossfire, or Centerflag, but... My advise is just stay away from pure energy tanks.

When i rented one there was no difference.  Hopefully the better reg on the nitro duck will give me more consistancy.

Without a reg it's pretty much as consistant as co2, but wont change with weather and won't make the marker freeze.  Less shootdown as well.
