Hey I was just wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not dye rotors are worth it? I was thinking of asking for one for my birthday as an upgrade from my Invert Halo Too.

The only loader in production that is not worth it's price is the Halo v35.

Almost every professional team uses rotors. I would try to find one used. You can find lightly used rotors on the BST for cheap. Another loader to look into is the spire. If you live in a humid climate, you may have problems with your rotor jamming. The spire is almost better than the rotor in every aspect. There is one problem with the spire, and that is it will have problems feeding the last 20 or so balls. This can be a good thing, because it will get you in a habit of loading your hopper before it is empty.

Oh really? How about all those teams sponsored by empire, what about the boat load of teams getting picked up by virtue.

I like to note that impact moved from rotor to spire. Get facts, not drugs

I live in Maryland so it gets a little humid at some points would you recommend buying a rotor or pinokio? I like the pinokio just as much as a rotor.

I said almost geez I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers. I know the rotors are starting to become less common among the professional teams. And I'm glad.

Personally I prefer the pinokio, but plenty of others like the rotor better. Try to get your hand on them. In the end they're both amazing loaders, and you'll never need another.

If you're buying new get a Spire.
Used I'd get a rotor for 90-100$

Rotors and spires I've borrowed and used never failed me yet. Both solid choices. If you want even a magna upgrade is pretty good

And TN, it's not even almost. Spire picked up so many teams its not even remotely close to almost. Empire still sponsers vandetta, legend, infamous, xsv, and now vicious. And I'd imagine some prophecy sponsorships from eclipse/empire sponsorships.

I was torn between the rotor and pinokio too. I chose the rotor because for the average day of play you don't need the extra rounds and I think it's pretty big too. For practicality reasons I thought the rotor was better for me.
