I like either one. The Empire axe would be quite a bit lighter than the Phenom, but the Phenom has many more upgrades and different looks so it just depends what you are after. I would check them out at Ultimate Paintball - http://www.ultimatepaintball.com

Go on PBnation.com for the buy sell trade or go on eBay. You can get great guns for cheep used or new. But if you want to buy one off of ansgear I recommend the etha for cheep. And for sure the axe. I have used both of them and they are both great markers!
Ewww Phenom.
lol jk if you want a MILSIM go with it.
However, I recommend the axe, a newer mini, or just consider upgrading your hopper to a prophecy z2 or rotor if you don't have one already.
Just don't buy an ego :3
