Okay, how's this: a LNIB pink Ion for $140. It's basically stock minus the pink...

Yeah, I know Smart Parts = , but the way I see it is this marker has already been purchased, so SP won't see an ounce of my $$$, and I still get a decent marker.

I guess another advantage is that you can buy ion replacement parts at lots of places and if you feel really confident in taking apart an ion (ask to take apart a friends ion first and get an idea on how they work) and then buy some expensive ups (lucky mac noid+board, bodykit if you feel like it, grips, new gripframe, regulator, bolt, etc) this way you can build an ion from the ground up like lots of cockers. the only reason why i reccomend this is because my friend put a hybrid trigger on his ion and now he says he voided the warranty from the distributor and the manufacturer. Not to mention it is cool when you can says its been custom built by a pro.
table of what really makes your marker work
*Gnomes= autocockers
*Fairies= Angels
*Pixies= Timmys
*leprachauns= tippys
*goblins= spyders
*elves= mags    
*lawyers= smartparts
Ya I'm that smart

I would go with a Dye Matrix LCD or a DM4. Or, if you could find an AKA gun like a Viking or Excalibur, that would be pretty awesome.

I have allot of experience in speed ball and tourneys and basically, i would stay away from cocker's and icd, the best guns i have seen at ALL of the tourneys i have gone to (and through personal use) have always been Dye, Ego, Shockers, or Timmy's, theres a few more but that is basically the list i go through when looking for a new gun.

Meh. If I was to spend $400, I'd get the Mini. I don't really wanna go over $300 though, excluding setup like air and hopper and junk.

I need a gun to get me into speedball. I've got my Raimaker, but that's more of a novelty honestly...

I've got a pump, a woodsball marker, and even some custom jobs, but no speedball. I've got a lot of choices now though, so I kinda want your opinions.

Basically, it's:
- Ion (I'd love one to screw around with)
- B2K/BKO/Promaster (Nice and such, but not too much in the realm of customizing, which I LOVE)
- Matrix/DM4 (decent price now, good deal of ups)
- E-'cocker (most ups/customization potential)

So far, I'm leaning towards the e-'cocker. Any thoughts?
