well, there both great airsystems, but its really your choice personally i would go on www.actionvillage.com and go to nitro systems, and then find a 68/4500 fiberwrapped tank and make sure it has high output (750psi+), there both good brands.

98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig.

Crossfire and Macdev make the best stuff, in my opinion.

Crossfire is solid and well-priced. Their tanks will never let you down.

   He can't. New, a Crossifre 68/4500 runs around $200, same for a PMI tank (actually the Pure Energy (PMI) tanks run a little more (I'm talking new)).

   So, Hybrid: 1 , MeanMan:0

Even if this were true, you get what you pay for.  I'm happy to spend that extra $20 that my Centerflag cost me over buying something else.

Crossfire, Nitro Duck, and Centerflag are all way better quality than PMI/PE.
