This is something you might want to read:

Proto Matrix, or, if you've got the cash, get a DM4. My PM5 rips, but
the DM4 is faster and there are more options. I'm selling my Proto
to get a DM4 with Musashi. Oh, and here are the differences
between a Proto and a DM4, straight from the owner:

The Proto Matrix is worse than the DM4 in a few ways:
-No clamping feedneck
-Can't upgrade with a chip, the whole board has to be
reprogrammed
-No Ultralite, which doesn't sound like a big deal, but one piece
barrel= no bore sizing. And a pinched ball is an unhappy ball.
-The Proto is slightly taller than the DM4

The Proto Matrix is better than the DM4 because:
-It's about 2 ounces lighter
-It's 1/3 of an inch shorter
-No membrane, just simple push buttons

Contrary to popular belief, I get the same amount of shots with both
on my 68/3000.


As for the dm4 being faster?  I'm skeptical, but then again, I've never touched a proto.
'...in order to use that particular insult, it really helps if you spell it properly. Nothing quite spells out "irony" as well as calling somebody "retarted."' -Clark Kent on Tippmann forumer

They both shot the same speed. IMO the protos better just cuz it's cheaper both shot exactly the same  I've shot both.

i`ve owned a dm4 and shot the proto at the cup. IMO my dm4 felt faster (maybe cause mine was tweaked to perfection). and for it being cheaper...with a new barrel and clamping feedneck it is near to the same price.

Gnarkill's right, but in an out of the box comparison, it all depends
on how fast you shoot the gun, since both have "uncapped" rates of
fire.

i just heard that tadao was going to make a new tadao just for the proto because they have different boards so if this happens im getting a proto. oh and i have shot both and i think the proto weas slightly faster andi think i should still save a couple bucks with going for the proto. do you think the proto will have a higher resale value?

The Proto shouldnt have higher resale.. Its cheaper retail. At the moment it may because its so new, but later on I highly doubt it.

Both boards are going to respond the same.. the proto isnt faster.. the dm4 isnt slower..
