i'll wait for the '09... looks way too similar to my 07.

Having seen one and shot one at Cup the 08 is very different from the 07. I realize that on the outside they look close but there were a ton of changes made to them.

They are lighter

They are quieter (IIRC the dwell on the 08's start at 12.5 vs the 16 for 07s plus they changed the porting to change the wavelength of the sound...all very scientific but in the end...its quieter)

Less kick (Not that the 07 had much but a teammate refused to shoot the 08 and kept his 07 because he said the 08 shot too smooth..like a spool valve...his quote not mine)

They have the upgraded spring/reg of the SL, the OOPS is off of the SL, the LPR has changed, etc, etc.

While they look similar to the 07s they did change a lot.

i didn't get to shoot it, but i did get to hold one and i stand corrected... it actually felt noticeably more comfortable in my hands than any other marker i have or have used. i want one.
