FX Monsoon or Revolution

Let's pretend I have a lot of disposable income and want a great repeating, high-power .22 pellet gun. From what I know so far (not much!) the FX Monsoon fits the bill. But then there's the Revolution. As I understand it, the Revo is the newer gun, built on lessons learned from the Monsoon. But I have read some real negative reviews of the Revo: that it jams, or won't feed. So I am asking for your advice--which would you buy, and why?
Many thanks. / Greg

I would go with the Monsoon just because all of the repeating parts are internal. I feel like if you bump the Revo or something you might mess up a spring or whatever. I also think the monsoon would be much quieter. No clue which would get more shots. Thumbhole stock would be nice for hunting as well

IIRC you need to adjust the revo blowback to the pellets and fps you are using. Failing to do that will cause jamming issues.
Edit, is was the issue with "muzzle brakes" that requires adjustments, see
