| I'd suggest the Ion, it's smaller, lighter, and faster. It also has way better resale value. |

I dont about the Ions resale value since they are fairly new. If people are already selling them I dont know if I would want one. TIPPY ALL THE WAY ------------- GO BUCKS!!! |

I hate Ions, and anything related to SP for that matter. I saw go for the E-Bolted 98C but my opinion is highly biased. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

| are you gonna get the tippy from ebay? or are there sites that sell the ebolt tippy still? the ion is faster,smaller,lighter... i want one but heard bad things but good things too. if you have money get an e-bolt tippy, blade trigger for it, drop forward, low pressure or expanision chamber, nitro or co2, vertical feed, electro hopper, good barrel, dye stickies. lots of money i know. or get the ion its fast, cool looking, lighter, but will only run nitro from what i heard. i think smaller would be better dor speedball instead of a 2 foot long tippy. im kind of leaning toward both. |

| Just warning you LMK, but there's a reason not a lot of people shoot E-98s: they're insanely expensive for what you get. Ions aren't really-and they have a warranty that covers anything that's defective. I do suggest a new trigger, but other than that, they're good to go out of the box. |

| Ion. not even a choice, really. E-bolts are rare and expensive. You won't be able to get parts or replacements soon. I would look into a Custom Pro before the e-bolt. The Ion would still be the best choice though. |
