Both will come stacked with extras, like a mask, tank, halo hopper, barrel... DP F8 comes with +35 Halo hopper "smoke", 68ci 3000psi CF tank, UL barrel, and a partial JT mask. Invert Mini comes with an UL barrel, Vforce grill mask, +35 halo hopper and 68ci 4500 psi CF tank. Tank is in date for the mini, haven't heard back on the DP F8 tank.... ------------- <3's Paintball w/ TippMann Alpha Black Tactical Marker TippMann Project Salvo Marker After Market E-Trigger TippMann SSL-200 E-Hopper |

Invert Mini seems to be the better deal. But what I would do is go to a local store and pick them both up. See which one feels best and is most comfortable to you. -------------

Niether. Sorry but DP... just no. Ammolord is right too.
Your better of buying an older high end marker. A DM6 or 05 Ego
can be had for 300+/- now, Timmy's, PMR, even.... Shockers
 are going to last you longer and treat you better.
I've fixed a lot of Mini's and had one myself.

I LOVE my DP F8. Their customer service is fantastic and their parts are good quality. They are super easy to maintain, clean and understand.
If you have any questions on it, shoot me a PM.
But, I also agree with TinMan. Ive seen 06 Egos for $250. Used high end guns are excellent.
Plus, the 68/3000 tank really isnt worth much. Id say get it without the 3000psi tank then find somewhere else to get one. -------------

I had a weak moment, and almost bought one of these... I am going to be satisfied with my A5 and AB... I'm going to save money so I can play more, and see what I like or hate about my set up, then move forward. Thank you for the feed back, it is always appreciated and I look up to you guys. ~Dan ------------- <3's Paintball w/ TippMann Alpha Black Tactical Marker TippMann Project Salvo Marker After Market E-Trigger TippMann SSL-200 E-Hopper |

I've got to agree on going with an older higher-end marker than going for the DPF-8 or Mini. I have a mini and while I do enjoy it quite a bit, it still doesn't perform as well as a used 06 Ego for the same price. The reason for me owning a mini? I got a great deal on a used one and needed something as a back-up to my e-cocker. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |
