Simple in-line design - easy to service - see Bad below.
Low parts count.
Line goes in the bottom, so it makes a good grip.
Keeps up with insane flow need of a Semi-Only-Board Warp Feed equiped heavily modified LP Intimidator running 165 - 180 PSI.
Shootdown is not noticable even after looonnnnggg strings at extremely high ROF.
Very consistent when clean.
Weaknesses:
Velocity Adjustment is sensitive to small turns of adjuster - cool after you figure that out.
If you use a screw in tank, be careful to keep grit and dirt out of the ASA adapter - it doesn't take much to get in and the regulator will spike like crazy.
If you have an adjustable tank with an on/off and keep it attached, the Gladiator will be much happier.
Conclusion:
Definately worth the cost.
Compares well to other high flow/low pressure regulators out there.
The Palmer Stabalizer comes close, but the side air inlet is awkward compared to the Glad.
I would and do recommend it for high flow/low pressure markers.
Nothing is perfect, so I can't give it a 10.
It's a shame there isn't a 9.8 or 9.9 there!
