which would you choose and why? my brothers getting into speedball (he likes air fields more than woodsball) but he doesnt want to spend too much on a marker...

I would get the mini, less that can go wrong. The gun is very light but durable, so while making trips,falls, and slides that you will make you will have more fun the frustration. I would like to say PMR also a good gun, but make sure you know how to take care of the gun before you buy it and before you go to the field.

Hes a bigger guy, like 6'1 200, will the mini fit him?

lol I'm 6'2'' and 280lb and my Mini fit me great. Yea there isn't a lot that can go wrong with the Mini that you can fix your self, no hoses or much wiring. The PMR being a spooler will require a little more maintenance, also he will have to get a metal back cap right away. The stock plastic back cap likes to strip then the bolt flys out and pops you in the goggles.

so theres no problem holding it with grizzly bear hands? thats what hes mainly worried about is how it will fit him as in bing able to hold it comfortably?

The Mini tends to be hard to hold. I have had a period where I shot one and it did get annoying. Once you get used to it, it's great! I would try to have him shoot/hold one before he makes a decision.
