Well I am buying an Ion and want to pick up a hopper, Is there really any difference between the two. If so what is it? And the Reloader costs $20 more than the halo. And both have a rip drive.

The reloader B uses sound to know when to feed a ball. So, when you shoot, the hopper loads a ball.

In the halo B, it uses eyes. When it senses a gap it the feed, it will load. Its not very consistant.

Go with the reloader. Its board is much better than the halo.

The Reloader B
Comes with the three speed board, extra battery pack, and a rip drive.
So if your going to compare prices get the options on the Halo before you decide it's cheaper. You will find out it is not.

Just say NO to junk mods

The Halo B feeds on motion. I have heard the Reloader Bs get scetchy after hitting 22bps or so. Go buy a Halo B with rip drive and then go buy a victory board so you can slow down the Halo B to 17bps so it equals out with the ion.

Tough one.

Reloader B's are more consistent, but their board cannot be updated if you are an extremely fast shooter.

Halo's win in the upgrades court; as they can accept all kinds of aftermarket widgets.

Since you have an Ion that can go (for now) a max of 17 bps, go for the Reloader B.
