Smart Parts made a few wrong moves and tied up their money in the wrong places. The attempted to go along with the .50 cal "revolution". However, the success of this change was not what was expected therefore that brought Smart Parts in the red. The other bad move was the release of their $1,000 marker the 2009 impulse. This was a flop due to the consumer it attempted to appeal to (planet eclipse has a hold on poppet valve markers.) This and the lack of appeal in the shocker and ion markers have led to Smart Parts to "Temporary close" smart parts had a creating hand in the .50 "revolution" they werent just on the band wagon, they created the band wagon that nobody else really jumped on, spyder has a few markers but when .50 flops they will not take the huge hit SP will/is. the other bad decision on SPs part was GI milsim, a company that has a president who signed a no contest agreement when he left another paintball company (i forgot which that was off the top of my head) so that is why GI-milsim can not produce any .68 caliber marker right now unless he is gone from the presidents seat.
It's all a matter of opinion, they all perform slightly different and are better for certain individuals than others. It comes down to which gun "feels" the best in your hands, and what valve type you like most. The most cutting edge markers right now are: Planet Eclipse: Ego10, Sl94 DYE: DM10 Smart Parts: Impulse MacDev: Droid DXL: Luxe
