If you have HPA. If not, then the CP-E is the better gun for you.

why don't you go out and try each before you let us and our opinions of likes and dislikes enfluence what you buy. Try looking up some reviews on both of them and weigh the odds yourself for what better suits you and what you play, not us. One thing I have learned since I have been on this forum or any other for that matter is, EVERYONE HAS DIFFERING OPINIONS! It would not be accurate at all to judge what gun you should get simply by asking others. Pbreview has plenty of reviews on both and there are many other sites like that.  I just don't want you to buy a gun and it not be what you really want or need for that matter!  Good luck!

Ion = true electro

Custom Pro =  sear tripper (think Spyder)

One definite advantage the Custom Pro has is ... the FLATLINE BARREL!

I don't go into the woods without one.

Depends on your personal style of play. Try both if you can and see which one "fits" you.

I love my Tippmanns as well ( I have three of 'em), but I also know a good thing when I see it, and IMHO, the Ion is the all-around best bang for the buck gun in the sport PERIOD.

Shocker technology and performance on a Tippmann budget and the ability to upgrade it to the moon?

No contest.

I would still like to see Tippmann build a marker to compete with the Ion, and no, the Custom Pro sear-tripper electro (ala Spyder) just doesn't do it for me.

If I attack, follow me

If I flee, kill me

If I die, avenge me

I have to agree with gsw.3, This is a Tippmann Forum!!! but yes, I know, I know, we have to respect all paintball guns here and yada yada yada...even though they are not tippmann. but, it is something to think about; isn't there a Ion forum or something? sorry if this is offensive to anyone, I don't mean to be mean...

I just got my ion today used.  It's bone stock except for the barrel.  The Ion is just easier to wield, quieter, and kicks less than my loaded Custom Pro-E.

I see your point, but when the thread asks about a certain non-Tippmann marker, isn't it proper to address the question?

Not to mention to give legit answers, not just tow the party line?

He wanted opinions, and I gave mine.  I love Tippmann as much as anyone, but I will not sugar-coat my opinions in order to kiss anyone's rear-end.

If I flee, kill me

If I die, avenge me

Being just a wee bit over-dramatic, aren't we?

Now all you need to do is slap your hand to your forehead and swoon ... sheesh ... !

Hmmm, this inspires a member title ...!

Hope you likee-likee!
