SP-1 is better in every way. Except you need to use 9v batteries and buy a force feed hopper. Need batteries for that too. If you get rechargeables you will be all set. But if you are silly and cant remember to turn off the gun and hopper between games or rounds than get the a5.  

i like having th e offset hopper so im pritty sure im getting the tippmann but  just wanted some info on the main advantages of both i was going to get it awhile ago  but the store guy saied that i should look at this

the sp1 is a nice marker, but tippmann tends to lead the way with uprade options ease of maintanence and reliability. and as chaibill said you need not worry about batteries and charging with  the a5 cyclone and rt trigger if you need to go full auto. Its just a bit easier in some ways but its really whatever you want  ask 20 people and get 2o different answers . they are both going to let you play paintball......just get a great mask, if you cant see you cant hit your target.
