St!ffi or flatline?

Well, i wouldnt be a good forumer if i never made a rediculously noobish post, but i am in a quandry.

here's the thing, i play woodsball and scenario and cant decide whether to get the flatline or the st!ffi. they cost about the same, and each has its advantages over the other.

here's some research ive done:

FLATLINE: longer range, flatter trajectory and that nifty foregrip makes it comfy.

ST!FFI: quitest barrel (from what ive read), lightest barrel, acurate, also, im not sure why, but i love carbon fiber!

they both seem like great barrels and, like stated earlier, they cost about the same, and ive been thinking about this for a while, so i would like your imput. PWEEZE!!!

well, to clear things up, im more of a neutral player. ill play anything but i prefer stalking around in the woods than to defending a bunker, i am conservative with paint, and im big. i hate it, and it serves a disadvantage, but o well. if i do play speedball, im a middle player because im easy to hit in the front and dont like lagging around in the back. still conservative with paint though.

i play in houston texas, so there are woods, but they are weird. they go from patches of open-ness to crap you cant hardly walk through.

i hope this cleas things up about play style.

I paid 30 bucks less than the Flatline. Five seconds to adjust? Clearly you have no concept of what the Apex is. Couldn't have ever even had one in your hand, much less ever shot one. I'm playing speedball with it. Yes, one vid from a guy shooting mixed and old paint, and you are an expert? You need to read a little bit more of the posts here on the forum before you doom yourself to a paint finicky Flatline. But then, when we meet on the field, he, he, he! Never mind. Yes, the Apex is junk. That's the ticket.

He is basing an evaluation on misconceptions and incomplete information...but, you will note, I agreed with him, the Apex is junk...shouldn't waste his money.

I own both the Flatline and the Apex. The Apex is more accurate with any paint, that I have tried so far, than the Flatline is with Marbs or All Star.
