sp-8 vs. a-5

If I was choosing a gun in that price range for perfomance and quality, I would go for an ICD promaster. 

 

And in addition, I do not believe the SP-8 comes w/ a max flow regulator....I am pretty sure mine just as the same lame one that the ion has.

Well in my opinion the sp 8 is nothing but another smart parts try to dominate the sport no matter what. Which has given them a bad rep over the years. I personally try not to buy any smart parts gear but any ways the a-5 and the sp8 match up pretty even a-5 is not electronic outta the box but does already have a good hopper setup with the cyclone which saves you 40 to 60 dollars right there. split the difference 50. Also you will need HPA if you want your internals to last more then a year or two that right their for a good tank can land anywhere from 150 to 250 split the difference 200, plus the 50 from before 250, now add price of SP8 300 = $550.00 now to show that im giving it a chance the A-5 with e grip 280 at paintballgear now add a stock 50 dollars plus co2 tank 30 so over all $360.00 if you go with HPA instead of Co2 and using 200 as your base price will be $530.00 so all together the guns are very close the only reason that i would give the A-5 the edge is the cyclone feeder and the ability to use Co2 over a long period of time plus the great customer support.
