Okay I got mine for $135, but......

The new Pulse is Da Bomb!!!!!!! Just got one a months ago, and deeply researched it first....it outperforms Halos, Vlocitys and Reloader b's in every comparison I found (plus easy maintenance and good battery life)

I don't know about the other two that you have there, but I have a haloB. It is great. It's extremely quite and I've heard that you can upgrade them to where they feed up to 50 bps. Like you need it to go that fast anyway . I havn't had any problems out of mine yet, knock on wood. That's my two cents.

I have a vlocity and have only one problem with it. It is a little loud. Other than that it is great. Good profile, fast, noticeably lighter than the rest, holds about a 180. I think this is easily the first step down from the pulse and the most you will get for 130.

Pulse is the only way to go. If you can find one. The lawsuit is still going on.

I like my empire. The only problem is if you have to take it apart.

ok heres my 2 cents bc i've owned all high-end hoppers out there:

halo/reloader-fast, good battery life, heavy as a brick, jams with bad paint, need upgrades (rip drive-you can make one out of a revy cone-, board, anti-jam spring and beads), has some popcorn affect, maintenance is easy especially with a hybrid suicide shell...(PS if your gonna buy one of these get the halo, it has eyes which is way better than sound activated, some guns are to quiet...), pretty sturdy but feedneck has a tendency to break (never happened to me, i know how to dive) <-Stupid People...doesnt hold much paint a pod and like 10 balls (over flows often)...(my back up hopper)

vlocity-fast, not loud for who ever said that (if your smart you leave it on mode 1, mode has nothin to do with speed on the vlocity, anything above mode 2 is liable to break paint), super light, lightest hopper out there, very small popcorn affect, you dont need to upgrade at all, never jams, battery life is OK, but if you buy the 07 vlocity it comes with rechargable lithium batteries, very sturdy...looks nice...can hold about a pod and a half of paint, love it, small profile (my personal favorite)

pulse-fast, no popcorn affect at all, heavier than the vlocity, pre-cut feedneck, very quick and easy maintenance, very sturdy, but have had 4 out of 6 friends have to send theirs back because they were either chipped or the feedneck broke, always running unlike the vlocity or halo due to eyes...pulse's "pulse" thats the way they work so you sorta always here a little "errr, errr, errr"...short and fat...look nice...dont hold that much paint (i've been in the middle of a game and have about 20 balls in the hopper and then i have to refill and it over flows from the pod...(love this one to)

eggs-dont even get me started...in other words WORST HOPPER EVER MADE!!!

Live Fun, Die Fast
