Icon X vs Icon Z

Well i think i finally convinced my mom to let me buy my own marker + package. Now i was wondering, which of these 2 are better?

the Icon X is 20 bucks cheaper with the package,

Icon X Package- Includes 500 paintballs, 20oz Co2 Tank, 32* vForce Armor, 200round Hopper, Two Year Labor Warranty direct from CanadianPaintball.com for $149.99

con Z Package - Includes 500 paintballs, 20oz Co2 Tank, 32* vForce Armor, 200 round Hopper, Two Year Labor Warranty direct from CanadianPaintball.com for $169.99

mind you these are Canadian prices, and thats cheap from what I've seen. So please help me decide, im leaning toward the Icon Z because it looks better, and acording to pbreview.com it is better(hard to beleive tho because so many fake reviews on that site)

please give me any personal experiences

Thanks a lot!!!!!


EDIT* from what it looks like, the ICON X is pretty much a spyder victor 2, and the ICON Z is a spyder xtra....so if thats tru, i guess the ICON Z wud be a better investement for a beginner wouldnt it?

naa there isnt much on ebay.ca, and the good stuff on ebay.com is still almost more than that, and it doesnt ship to canada

any other suggestions, and reminder, i dont want electric, i dont want to spend 100's of dollars on paint at the field a day :P

Icon's are clones of spyders. They work the same way, and they preform the same way. I own an Icon-Z. Never had a problem with it once. I've also only chopped a ball about 3-5 times in the almost 2 years that I've had it. It's compatable with all of the Spyder parts and is just as easy to maintain..

Icon-Z's are deffinatley good markers, just as spyders are. You, my friend, probably have never handeled one and guessed that they were cheap due to the price, or the lack of a popular brand name..
