I'd suggest you play some speedball games with the 68 before you upgrade to a different gun. You may find that you can perform great with your current marker.

If I were in your place I'd get a new marker. Yeah, the ion is pretty good, so is the wrath and b2k4.

Get the Ion. Then you'll have money to buy the needed HPA tank and Electronic hopper.

I used cocker off ebay, you can get them with an E1 for that price. Also the B2K4 would also be a great choice.

I played a whole season with an A5 with an egrip, drop, hpa, and a dye ultralight.  The gun didn't hold me back, and I was very competitive with the setup.

The following season I used an ANS cocker, good gun, accurate, fast, and stone reliable.

I moved to an Angel Speed, and then to a Fly, but I like the cocker so much I use it most of the time. It puts the paint where I want it, as quicky as I need it.

Dont bother listening to the I hate ION people unless they give you an idea on a different gun. Most have had one bad experience where they put a non anti-siphon Co2 tank on it and killed their gun. I have seen lots of IONs and all of them worked great. The only time one hasnt worked was at a tourny where a little kid left it out in the sun with a C02 tank on it, and it wasnt even his gun.
