First, I think you have something backwards or screwed up. Nitrogen and compressed air, or more commonly called High Pressure Air (HPA) are about the same thing yes. Minor differences but the same performance. You will commonly see HPA before Nitrogen. High pressure and Low pressure however are totally different things from air tanks. High pressure means more like 800 psi operating pressure. The pressure at which your gun can fire at proper speed. Most common is around 800-1000 psi for most guns in the lower end range. Cockers operate in the area of 400-500. Same for mags. My Impulse can fire at less then 200 psi. The advantages to Low pressure operation, quieter shots, less recoil and in some systems increased efficiency. However, sometimes it has the opposite on efficiency. When they were talking about the AA vigilante, they were talking about the spring to adjust the output pressure. LP springs are different from high pressure and they are no long supplying them with the vigilante, you have to buy them seperate. I don't know what you are going to be putting it on, but if your operating pressure is in the area of 200 psi, then you will need the LP spring. Hope this helps.
