Macdev Clone GT vs Dye DM12

[big JME]

I never even looked into where to send stuff under warranty. My etek4 is due to be serviced tomorrow but im getting it done at the shop I work for which is an authorised service centre. Not sure if they are for dye, they are definitely not a service centre for macdev though.... hmmm that may have changed which one I prefer. I must admit I do much prefer the new dm13 pga cubix red, it looks very sexy

Mike from techpb on youtube has review on both of them. http://www.youtube.com/user/paintballtechpb?feature=g-user-u
Out of the two id definitely pay more for a Clone GT. Personally i've never liked the look of the DM series.
And as for sending it for a service after every use, strip it, clean and relube it yourself?
I've never used either of them but that's my 2 cents

Ooo hi matt, havent spoke in a while. That would be great

As for servicing I know it is ott, ive seen the reg and everything on the clone gt is all in one so you drag it out and clean it all in one go so its suppose to be easy to maintain

No worries at all . I can show you how to service the DM12 as well as that may help you decide. Drop me a message with your mobile number buddy and we can make arrangements for me to come and see you.

After having a quick ring round some shops, i've been offered a red/gold clone gt or and a DM12 in red cloth for roughly the same price. Based solely on that, which seems like a better deal to you guys? Im going to try out a DM12 this weekend thanks to Matt. Does anyone have a clone gt near me that i could perhaps hold before i get sucked into buying the only one i've tried? Near this postcode wv100ne, or close to wv107hu

Many thanks,
Jamie

I have sent markers for a service to both planet and dye and never had any complaints. Planet regularly have a tech at CPPS but as far as I am aware mcdev and dye don't (as I know your playing there this season). However, this could well change this season. None of this impacts the feel of a marker in your hand but are other things to consider in case you do have an issue. I am sure some mcdev owners can post up there experiences as I have never held let alone used one so I am not in a position to comment but I have used both dye and planet markers.

i decided to order the DM12, as the offer i was given on it i just couldn't refuse
and after finding out that i would need to buy an LP bottle as the clone GT's are prone to internal leaks from HP bottles, i couldn't justify the extra
