Yeah, let's try mid-level. While it ain't no Cyborg, it isn't an Ion either.

It's mid-level. It's a Pm7 without the LPR...
EDIT: Just a side by side for comparison

WORD IS IN: my friend picked one up today. I went ova to his house. AMAZING ACCURACY. thats what really stood out to me, but its fast as well. Not one chop and we went thru at least a case. not as light as i thought it would be, but in all intensive purposes I believe its better than an ion. I have an PM6 and a 98 (dad has ion). Out of the these i believe it is an all around better marker than the ion, but not quite as light as the PM6. well there you go.

pardon intermediate... too much caffiene and an already drifty mind dont mix.... but it still to me doesnt seem like someone someone should fool with without a great deal of experience

Correct, further enhancing why caffeine and driftiness don't mix.

havnt tried it, but man it has a nice feel, noticed 3 round burst, semi and ramp on it, not sure if their are any mods on the board. only deception imho is the rubber on the frame, its sticky but looks like it is cheap...
i like it so much iam not to sure about getting the epiphany anymore..

it looks like the epiphany, or the epiphany looks like it . smart parts have been known to steal ideas

my gf says they all look the same, i guess she got hired to design the epiphany and never told me
I find the epiphany yo be shaped like an ion, but sleek like the rail
