Tourney Decision

So, I was out with my NRPA guys today at Pev's at AG in Leesburg and lo-and-behold two of my old reffing buddies were out there to ref out game today. Anywho, I was talking with Caton, one of the refs, and dropped the fact that myself and two other guys from the NRPA are going to be entering the 3-man tournaments that are coming up in the spring-summer of next year. One of the guys has a brand new $1300 Matrix, the other uses a mix of an Ion and an E2 Eblade 'Cocker. I personally have a very nice (and very heavy) mechanical 'Cocker which I can dump around 14bps out of when I really hit the trigger hard. The issue is this, I could use a nice, light marker for the tournament which will mainly be speedball. I told Caton that I wanted to pick up either an Ion or a used Angel LED (represent the old-skool yo!) He thinks I should just rock the old-school 'cocker as I regularly shoot the living crap out of guys with DM6's, Angels, Matrixes, Egos, Ions, and Timmies.

So, what do you guys think?

I personally feel that a 3-man game would put me at a disadvantage with the classic 'cocker as the field is smaller and concentrated fire becomes a regular occurance. I think I'll still look for a used LED after christmas (as the prices on e-bay and whatnot will come down then) or rock-out a new ion. Either way, I've got all the other stuff I need (hopper, HPA with adjustable output, etc)

Thoughts?

ProLite.

Whip out the POD and skool em Lil Pink Riding Hood style.

Do Dredly proud.

I'd go for a LED. Have you looked into a 03 Dye Matrix?

You can get ahold of DM4's for less than 400, nevermind 03's (on eBay, of course)
