Lucky Ion (or upp'd ion) or Invert Mini

[oicdn]

I currently own an Ion and am thinking about upping it.

I'm thinkin about buying a Lucky Stage 5 or 5.1, qev, and virtue board.

How does it compare to a stock Mini? How about an Ion with just a virtue board vs. the Mini?

I don't care about plastic vs. metal, or "aesthetically better" or whatever, just strictly performance and reliability.

First this belongs in the high-end electro forum. Second stay away from lucky and virtue. Lucky has gone down the drain pretty much and virtue isn't a respectable company and they're over priced. But anyway the way you're think about putting on an ion won't make it compete w/ the mini. You'll need much more then a board, qev, and body. So i say get the mini but also look into the rail, fusion, and timmys at firstcallpaintball.com

up the ion =)

Why though? You'll most likely end up paying more for upping the ion then getting one of the guns. You only upp an ion if you want a gun that is to your personal likes. Other then that really it’s a waste of money.

Plus when you go to sell it you'll get jack for an Ion, so get a Rail or Mini. I would personally take the Mini because it felt like it was built better (no plastic, or "composite" as some of you like to call it) and I liked the size, but you have too shoot both really.
