for 99% of all paintballers even a Halo Too will be just fine. I can understand using something like a Spire for using very very brittle paint, but damn dropping $200 for a hopper, ouch.

I do it for the luxury, prestige, pride, and knowledge that my hopper is the best. That and it looks better than a Halo.

^Really?

Sounds like Fashion more then a function.

Luxury sport. Halos work fine. I have a halo. But I have little pride in using it, plus it just doesnt look good. It's pretty easy to have a functional setup, but harder to have one thats also fashionable.

its paintball... its a messy throw down hobby/sport. No point in over spending on something that's going to get trashed.

[Orange Chicken]

It's not like the spire cant handle any more toughness than the halo. Actually on the contrary, it could probably handle more. Plus, it's a tool less disassembly, making it easier to clean.

[Praetorian]

not saying its more fragile.

Just saving cash.. Both will meet the same outcome. But i will say the spire will be easier to clean but not worth the extra $100+

Fixed it to apply to me

Don't get me wrong, I love my spire, have only tried the Rotor and only held a Z2. But in retrospect, spending that much on a loader was perhaps a bit overkill.
