Thought I'd throw a good word in for the Vice. Now, 2012, that money is tighter than ever for most people this gun delivers every ounce of performance for the money. Looks amazing, feels amazing, quietest stack tube poppet, BLAST customer support can't be beat, the list just goes on and on. I like my vice over the ego10 I had without question.

I've been an Intimidator fan for quite some time now. I was very impressed when I shot the Protege at World Cup in 2007. That enthusiasm didn't even compare to the first hopper full of paint I shot through the marker today. I bought the Vice and had it shipped with the 4C eye system. I also added in a Tadao Yakuza board with an RF Chip and Sync'd the marker to my Pulse. The result is the fastest marker I have ever shot. The consistency of the strings of paint in semi only mode with no bounce was simply astounding. I've shot hundreds of markers but nothing even close to being in the league of the Vice.
Bob totally redesigned the Gen4 platform to give you the Vice. The valve system is completely different though it utilizes some of the same design characteristics as the Gen4's but without the maintenance issues. The result is a kick/recoil free marker that's light and stable to shoot. The marq style gripframe enables them to strategically place the solnoid in a mounted configuration. The internals are better aligned and subsequently require less maintenance. The redesign of the gripframe to the body also enables easier access to the valve and internals when you do have to maintain it.
These markers come with the Marq style reg. This is fundamentally different from Alias/Gen4 torpedos as it utilizes a shim stack with a piston which in turn leads to tighter readings over a chrono. I was hitting +/-5 right out of the box. I've never had that consistency with the other 10 or so NIB Intimidators I've had.
The marker also comes with an ASA and top of the line Feedneck which are significant improvements from past models. The stock barrel is also amazing. The ram area/sleeve are/is shorter and the marker runs on a 6ms dwell...about 40% faster than previous versions with no hint of shootdown, even when I had it in uncapped, full auto (NXL) ramp. Bob carried over the Marq style eye covers with integrated detents so users don't need to swap out rubber nubs anymore. The eyes are easy to change out and are locked down with a phillips head screw.
Phillips head screws also hold down the Tadao M8 Ryujin board on the inside of the frame. The battery connects straight to the frame, so no more harnesses to worry about. The OLED functionality on the Yakuza I put in was simply amazing. When coupled with the 4C eye functionality I had a paintball machine gun in my hands. The ram is easy to lube as are the pistons for the regs.
The overall milling and contours are more aligned on the Vice than any other intimidator. I'm impressed with the flow and feel of the marker. Some people reported early machining problems as well as anodizing issues on the Black markers, but mine is gloss black and any previous issues now seem to be corrected.
One downside is that there's a limited selection of triggers, but I'm honestly quite happy with the POWER Sabre trigger I have in there. It clearly helps me establish a nice rhythm. The stock spring was adding too much tension so I took it out. The Vice also has a "plate" that is screwed in place as a back buffer near the switch for the trigger spring.
Ironically the most amazing part of the marker is yet to be mentioned. I'm getting roughly 2100 shots off of a full 68/4500 fill. The marker itself is highly efficient and really maximizes this. The size is comparable to an 08 Ego. I put it on top of the ego in my local store and the ego was a bit longer while the Marq was a bit taller. The weight and width were nearly identical. The real coup is that the Vice is nearly $400-500 cheaper.
All said and done there are very few negatives to associate with the Vice. Most of them are more a matter of personal preference other than functionality or capability.

Aside front the stock board taking a dump on me within a month or two (I prefer virtue anyways), this gun has never broken down or disappointed me. Bob Long is underrated in my opinion. Puts out some of the best guns. Luxe, ego, dm are just not worth it with this available.

I had my vice for about 4 or 5 months and it shot amazing for me never had a problem with it. I loved the efficiency of it, I put a yakuza board in it right away so i never really got a chance to use the stock board in it but it did work well in my rapper. I never had a problem with it blending paint i did have occasional breaks but it was nothing due to the gun they were barrel breaks.
The gun was very light weight and was very balanced with a magna loader on it. Was a very consistent gun over the chrono and again teh efficiency was amazing I could shoot up to 9 pods in a game and still have paint left over, i shot close to 1500 shots on a 3000psi fill! thats how amazing this gun is you cna shoot over a case once it is broken in.
the break in period i mentioned above was for about the first 2 cases or so when i first got the gun and adjusted the LPR according to what terry had told me it shot super smooth but the velocity was very low (wouldn't go above 250ish) then once it was broken in it started shooting around 280-285 (can't really remember) but it shot amazing with almost zero kick. this gun is worth every penny! and is a great gun for anyone!
