I would go with the E-Grip.

Id rather have the response trigger. The e-trigger needs batterys. Board can go bad. Cant switch between modes easily. Price is cheaper for r.t.  Unless your playing speedball how many shots you need to fire in a row. I sold my e grip for a response.  Just my opinion.

This is incorrect.  It does not take extra gas to operate the R/T.

Rechargable batteries can be larger than their normal 9v counterparts which can hinder the operation of the E-Grip.  Standard 9v batteries are fine.  I always keep 3 or 4 in my parts kit just in case just like I keep spare air cylinders.

Does it require extra air to get the response trigger going?  I thought it just used up excess air, just basically putting left over air to use.  I could be wrong, but the hammer still hits the pin just the same which would essentially let the same amount of air out each time.  The response trigger just connects to the chamber and uses some of the air that was used to recock the hammer and shoot the ball.  That's the way I thought it worked. 

But in answer of the poll, I'd say one way or another if your going to go with the response trigger definately upgrade it to the Super Response trigger.  The standard RT itself however VS the E-grip, I'd maybe go with the E-grip.  A close tie for me between the Super RT and WAS E-grip.  Or E-trigger, whatever it's called now.

i believe it does use excess air.  I vote the egrip though.  I have oneand love it yet my cuz has had nothing but problems with his RT.  Granted it may just be him.  The egrip is very reliable though and the battery deal is not bad.  I can get through quite a bit of games before I have to change mine out (by quite a few I mean many months worth lol).  The Rt is also not allowed at some fields since it is considered "automatic"  with the egrip you can go full auto or ramp and control the exact bps you are putting out.
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...
