No, not really. I believe they are probably a good design for their price but don't deserve the hype. They are being bought up left and right and some people I respect are getting rid of them almost as fast. It's not that they are bad I think just not what people expected. They tried them and don't want them anymore. I will buy one, use it for awhile and sell it when I am done jsut to see what they are like. After about a year or two more their price will stabilze a little closer to their real worth.
Back closer to the topic, the Prodigy and Orion I own are good pb guns but suffer from anti-hype. They do the same thing an Ion does; launch paintballs at 300fps. Unfortunately they were born on the wrong side of the tracks(VL/BE). They do the job though. Both my VL guns are backups and loaners now though, Tippmanns and the AMG Classic were more my type of guns and I enjoy playing pump also.
I do like to tear things apart and see what makes them tick, hence I will in my lifetime probably buy and sell one gun of every type sooner or later ( I think a cocker may be next).
I despise hype, I didn't watch Star Wars for about ten years because I got sick and tired of all the stupidity that went with the marketing. It was a good movie though. Mad Max was better but didn't even catch on until like the third movie was shown in the US.
I refuse to be a sheep, or at least I want to be off to the uncrowded side of the herd where it smells a little better. LOL
