Ok, I've been playing paintball for around two years, and my first gun was a sweet 98 custom. Wonderful gun, never had a problem with it and the performance is good. I also did't mod it, it's 100% stock. I'll get to the point. I love tippmann and a big fan of them, i play woodball, and speed at my local paintball place. It's time for a new gun. I can buy and am going to buy one of these guns. Help me out please. I have 530 bucks to use. Why is what you thing better?

Do you have HPA? I would highly recommend it if you get a Cocker.

You will also need a good hopper, like an Egg.

PM me and we can talk; I don't feel like typin right now...

I'm in the same boat as you but with a little smaller wallet. But after reading all the reviews I have read I would reccomend the Impulse w/vision. I have an A-5 and love it to death, but its just too big for speedball.

I would go with the Impulse.

Unless you want a lighter quieter marker. Then go with the cocker.

Like everyone says feel and shoot them both then decide which one you like more.

I hope this helps.

Erm, I'm not comfortable with the single beam eye system. If you DO buy the Imp with Vision, make sure to get the WAS eyes later.

Sorry, I didn't read the fine print. Turns out it is a conversion (meaning you pay 215 dollars to change your existing Autococker into a Turtle one).

Damn!

Don't get the a-5 if you already have a 98. Get one of the last two.

Just going to nit pick your mods a bit if I may. 16 is alittle big for speed, go 14. Proved anything over 14 dosen't help. Stock and coil will need to be removable, too long and bulky for speed. Think small and tight as possible. Change that foregrip into a reg. or xchamber if you stick w/CO2 . I don't see a RT trigger. That or an E-bolt. With your loader you shouldn't wont need the feedadaptor. Look at the mods you can do also. Won't cost you anything but time. I ended up buying a dedicated speedball gun and use my tippy for woods/backup. Have fun.
