FX Impact gen2(?) vs MKII

[larspawn]

Hey all, anybody have thoughts on the second generation Impact vs the new MKII?  The one I'm looking at is pre MKII but has been upgraded with an X barrel.  Seems to be shooting with plenty of power.  I'm just unclear as to major differences or limitations of the older gun.  I know the "transfer tube" or plenum is smaller but not sure that is too limiting at .25 unless I were to go with really heavy pellets or cast. 

Thoughts?

If you can get it for a good price I say go for it . Even with the small plenum 50fpe is plenty for a pellet shooter . Now if you plan to go the big power route or think you want to shoot heavier cast bullets . This may not be the right choice as you would need some serious mods for power . Not something I would be interested in doing to a 2000$ rifle . I have recently got an X version in .22 cal and am very pleased with it with a few exceptions , the stock gauges are just about useless and it only came with one magazine .
