You should check out wgp new lower end autocockers. They are cheaper and made to compete with spyders. They arent compatible with all autococker upgrades. And my field(and 99% of tournaments) dont allow auto they only allow semi. Spyders are solid guns but I have heard some good stuff about those new autocockers.

If you do decide to get the fenix upgrade the board to the 'T-board' I Read in a APG Articale where they had a Spyder going at like 36pbs.. and it comes with a set of eyes... its price is about 70$ I think the 'T-board' is like a mini-class WAS Board

That was My Fenix. It was a pretty good gun. I sold it for $300 to get my 'Cocker(Kept Halo) I had it since Christmas and sold it like a month ago, and I never had ANY problems with it besides whopping due to me using a Quantum VL(Says 8bps, but I timed 100 balls at like a minute and something, more than once) I have used all other E-Spyders and I would suggest an Imagine MAINLY becuase how much lighter those things are. The Spyder Fenix is HEAVY. All E-Spyders shoot the same so why not save money and go lighter? The only benifits you get are the Frame itself, barrel, and small upgrades. Now the frame when your playing why do you need to be able to switch easy? Answer you don't it is NOT needed. Barrel, no offense but the all suck royally. Also the small upgrades are just things like metal feed necks, but if your not dumb you shouldn't break the plastic one. Now the ACS is a little different. It has a new 20bps board, and the ACS bolt. Lets be honest nobody can get over 11bps without a new switch on a Spyder. So, why do you need it to go 20? You don't its just hype. Now the ACS, another hype product. A bolt no matter how well disigned will almost always still chop a ball. It sheer physics. A bolt with a focre at which the bolt moves would have to be Jello to not break a ball. THis one is plastic with a spring device IMO CRAP. Just buy an Imagine with a decent hopper, a $45 Revy with X Board is fine, and if you want it faster with eyes get an XSF board, T-Board, or the other board. Also you might want to look into a new barrel. JJ Ceramics are good for the money, or you could go for a more expensive one like Boomstick, Freak, or Evil Pipe/Driver. Still if you have the money you should look into getting a 'Cocker, and not the new Trilogy series and ONLY get a 'Cocker if you can afford Nitrogen/Compressed air for it. If you need more info PM me.

How much are you willing to spend? I say go for a b2k4, or b2k3. Maybe even an impulse without vision.

man tim, you need to think bout it, theres no fun in speedball if your guns chopping balls like crazy! vision is a must on bushys and impys, i personally think a used cocker off pbN would be perfect for what your looking for, or as mentioned above, a WGP Trilogy (affordable cockers)
