HALO:
+You're not going to outrun it
+A hair smaller than the Evo
+Durable

-Heavy, but you really don't notice when you're playing

Evolution (with Y Board):
+The Y Board is very fast, I doubt you'll outrun her
+Holds a lot of paint

-The flimsiest hopper I've ever used

I hope that helps a little.

You should be fine with an egg.
try to get one with a y board, and file down the lip that keeps the lid closed so you can open it easier.

Good loader, but not quite as fast as a halo.

Is the Angel Speed not an "Open bolt" marker?

If it is then I would make sure your ball detents are up to the job before you buy a Halo.

:)

I also find the Egg a much easier loader to load. I always have to tip the Halo forward in order to empty a whole 140 shot pot into it but I don't with the Egg.

You really need to try a halo b in your speed as they work well with some and make soup with others. If you have one that works well with the Halo you won't regret it, awesome hopper and very quick!

Well, the general rule of thumb is if it's open bolt (e.g. Timmy/Angel) stay away from the Halo. I hae yet to use an Angel/Halo combination (whether it be Speed or IR3) that didn't give regular breech bursts (2-5 balls per hopper full)

As cockers are closed bolt, they should theoretically work well with the Halo.

However, as ever there is an exception that proves the rule - Viking is open bolt and when I had a go of Colliers it was phenomenally quick using a halo and not a single burst after 1 hopper and 2 x 140 pots through it...
