Ok, it is either one or the other. I am  looking at performance and reliability in these guns, which one is going to be there in the long run. i would get a new barrel and drop for the ion and keep the rest stock, about $340. I would purchase a new bolt and get my ram lightened for the Wrath and the rest stock, $350. And please do not tell me to just stick with my tippy.

My friend has a Wrath. It works nicely, go for it. They have good eyes, and speed, great consistancy too, maybe +/- 4 at the chrono


I used to hate IONS, but after watching them being shot and played with more, they turn me on, and I appreciate them very much. Also a good choice.

Either way you'll get a good, reliable gun, but in the long run, I feel the ION would be better, but I coulnd't be certain. My friends Wrath doesn't look like it will crap out anytime soon.
I Have a B2K and a 98c.

shot both stock and i must say i liked the wrath better
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.

I have not got to shoot a Wrath yet but they look pretty good for the price.

But my Ion has been working great except for some reg problems when I first got it but that was fixed by switching to HPA.

I would go with the Ion but thats just me.

I'd go with the Ion, as it's a true electropneumatic, and problems should be easier to troubleshoot and fix, plus, I've heard a lot of good stuff, and the ones I've shot feel good.

Go for the Ion, and instead of a drop, I suggest the Function on/off.  later on you are going to want a new feedneck, a new trigger(i suggest the CP one), QEV, and a new reg(I suggest the CP short reg)
