Great marker with a lot of features that makes it one of the most popular spool valves out there. While this gun is probably not recommended for first time players just because of some of the more complicated settings, a common paintball player with medium knowledge could mow down the field with this gun.

Well, I bought this marker on a whim, and I love it! I've gone through quite a few other markers, and I've never shot anything as light, or as smooth as this marker.
Pros:
Very lightweight. I love being able to move this marker around with ease.
Extremely smooth shooting. This marker shoots like butter. I had a few issues with the stock trigger, but when I switched to the Violent Series trigger, it was amazing. There is almost no kick to it, and this helps keep a straight line.
Easy to use. Although the talking board can be a little annoying at times, when I'm trying to program, it is amazing. I have never seen, or used a board that can compare. Also, you can connect it to your computer, and save settings, update it, etc. It is by far the best board that has ever been put into a marker.
Cons:
Not Autococker threaded. While this isn't a huge deal for me, I know that it can be for most people. I understand where the company is coming from by saying that the threads are actually stronger, thus the user is less likely to strip the threads. Although all this is true, it still doesn't change the fact that 90% of the comparable markers are autococker threaded. It would be nice to have the option of switching out other barrels from the gearbag.
Not efficient with air. Personally, I use a 48/45, and I have to fill up after every set. While this is not a huge deal, and has become more of a habit lately, I can see where some back, and even some midfield players might have an issue with this. When using a 68/45, filling up is less frequent, but not by much.
I have one more con, but it may just be my marker, so I'm not going to add it under cons. I dove into the snake during a game, and popped an oring off of a dongle between the trigger frame, and the top half of the marker. This was a very small ring, so I didn't notice it at first. After initial inspection, I took it to my buddies shop, and they told me that it was a busted solenoid. I left it there for a week, and when I came back they told me that it was just the simple oring that had popped off, and to keep an eye on it. After that, I've noticed that every two to three times that I go out to play, I have to reseat it.
Overall, I love this marker! I am always looking at new markers to try out, but I can foresee using this marker 99% of the time! I wish these things were a bit cheaper, and that the company sold color conversion kits!

DLX TECHNOLOGY DLX Luxe 2.0This is an amazing gun. And since all high end guns are so similar, I'm going to talk about some other guns, and why I gave the Luxe 2.0 the star ratings I did.
Simply put, I bought the gun because...
Compared to other guns, Flashy, Smooth, Consistent
Cons:
Efficiency, Price
This is an amazing gun. And since all high end guns are so similar, I'm going to talk about some other guns, and why I gave the Luxe 2.0 the star ratings I did.
Simply put, I bought the gun because it gets the job done, but it turns heads. Nobody else has these guns, and if they do.... I've never seen any Luxe that has the same color scheme as another.
Compared to a Geo 3 or an Ego 11, it might not be worth it to spend $1500, since it's one price tier up from them, and they're all high performance guns. Usually people compare between the Clone GT, and Vapor, Dye NT, and G6R. The differences are negligible, and I already told you I picked the Luxe because it looks better than the others.
Before I compare all of these guns, I just want to say I've owned, or have friends who own, all of these guns, so I've shot all of them. If you set all these guns up the right way, here's how they stack up against eachother.
Appearance: Luxe ~ Vapor > Clone GT > G6R > Geo 3 > Ego11 > Dye NT
(At first glance, the luxe looks like a vapor)
Performance: Luxe ~ Vapor ~ Clone GT ~ Geo 3 > Ego11 > G6R > Dye NT
(Includes comfort/Smoothness.... otherwise these would all be equal)
Reliability: Ego11 > Geo 3 > Luxe > Vapor ~ Clone GT > G6R > Dye NT
(I've seen 1 Dye NT working... ever. Luxe's no longer have FSDO and are backed by a more experienced company than Vapor. But in paintball, reliability means Tippmann... but then it means Planet Eclipse)
Value: Geo 3 > Ego 11 > Dye NT > Luxe ~ Vapor ~ Clone GT ~ G6R
(The Dye NT just dropped in price, and I don't think any of these high priced guns are truly worth it, but they are fun, and if you have money to burn, or guns to trade in, it's fine)
Efficiency: Geo 3 ~ Ego11 ~ Clone GT ~ G6R > Luxe ~ Vapor > Dye NT
(my friends Geo 3 beats out his Ego 11 stock, out of a 68/45 it gets 10 pods and a hopper, over 8-9 pods and a hopper. Clone and G6R are pretty close to that. Without proper paint to barrel matching, and o-ring bolt fitment, the other guns wont get passed 6-7 pods and a hopper)
Just my opinions. Hope people find this useful

Hmmm, the luxe. Well where do I start. A gun that talks to you, that's hands down a great feature. A bolt that can be taken out in 2 seconds, yet another amazing feature. But snap on grips and eyes? Case closed. Great gun, but it is very pricey. If you would like to spend 1500 on a sleek amazing gun then go ahead. But keep in mind, you're going to want to keep this gun forever and ever, you'll fall in love......

These marker's truly are worth the money. DLX finally perfected the Luxe on this model. The new 2.0 bolt kit is all you will ever need and gets great efficiency for a spool valve. I'm getting a hopper and 4 pods on 2000 psi on a 68/45 Ninja SMP tank. The new features and programming on the board are great. The stock Freak barrel is the best barrel out there, and it has been for 10+ years. The Feathertouch manifold works great. I was able to shoot the super fragile Ultra Evil at World Cup with mine without any chops or problems at all. The new case is an improvement over the old one by far. I also love how the case includes lube, orings, screws, extra battery, barrel condom, data cable, and a wall charger. Definitely get one if you're looking for the ultimate tournament marker.

I now have 3 and love them they shoot very consistent and work every time. i hear a lot of people say the have issues with these markers and from my experience the only issues are caused by people playing with settings and orings and not knowing what they are doing. I recommend if you have the opportunity to try one do so. once you hold one and shoot it you will love it.
