I agree pbreview is a bunch of 12 year olds with too much time on their hands.

I'd go for the wrath, just because its faster than the ion(according to diablo), cheaper than the ion, and looks a hell of a lot better than the ion. I also dont approve of what smart parts is doing to the pb industry.

Do a search for "Smart Parts Sues" on google. You'll find about 10 companies that they've sued because of the stupidest reasons. Its about time they get a taste of their own medicine (Dye recently filed a lawsuit against them).

Neither.

Both companies have a record for bad products and quality control, or craptastic customer service. Smart Parts has bad quality control on the Freak, Impulse, old Shocker, and poor customer service (it varies, sometimes it's kewl, other time's it blows).

Diablo...their products flop.

Actually, most of these "high-end, low-cost" guns end up sucking. Look at the BKO, had a lot of problems. The Impulse needs to be gutted. The old EM1 just simply didn't work. The Autococker against needs to be gutted.

If you want the preformance, you gotta have the dime. I'd look into something upgradable but still good...the Wrath is not. The Ion...I'm just not comfortable with it. Not sure how SP cut the corners on it yet. The BKO is a nice option.

Yo dude ive never personially shot a wrath but i have used an ion in a speed ball match and it wasent the best thing if u know what i mean it kinda sucked it up but for the the price its worth it. But on the other hand i would go with the wrath just because its cheaper but the parts might not be the best.

I WOULD JUST DO THE RESEARCH AND SEE FOR YOUR SELF

Go with the ION. If your want to spend more try the Proto Matrix. My teamate has one and hasnt givin him any problems so far. He's owned it for almost 4 months now.

We also have a few ION's on the team. All seem to be working good with only a few minor fps problems that were easily solved.
