Okay...
No paintball gun shoots the same way as another one. A spyder cannot be considered "high end", no matter what upgrades you put on it. It is a blowback gun, plain and smiple. It cannot compare to a shocker/ion/PM/etc... An electro-pnuematic gun will ALWAYS be better than a blowback. What separates them is how they work, not speed. Can a spyder shoot 30 bps? Yes. Can an Ego shoot 30 bps? Yes. Which is better? The ego, because it shoots more smoothly, has better efficiency, and has better consistency. The spyder is capable of shooting 30 bps (with some mods), but will have massive kickback, be loud as all hell, chop like no other, and will be horribly inconsistent. In the end, it just comes down to how much you want to spend on a gun. As far as I'm concerned, if you like your Spyder/Raven/Pirahna then fine by me, but if you try to say that it is better than something like my NME just because they can shoot the same speed, then we have a problem.

Anyway...I think that those new Spyders are ugly as sin. They may appeal to a select group of people, but it will be very small. Had they worked on the asethetics a little bit, then it wouldn't be so bad. It will perform the same as any other Spyder.
