Yes, NITRO is a necessity.... You WILL notice an immediate performance improvement including consistent muzzle velocities AND the improved accuracy that comes with that. You might not LIKE tournament ball. I don't like the tournament 'attitudes' I encounter when playing rec and scenerio ball. If they aren't 'winning', some players are making up excuses, blaming people, and unhappy people to be around. Whiners! Not all, just some.... We are supposed to do this for FUN. It gets expensive to cough up $30 entry fees too. Especially to get eliminated after a 3 minute game. So I would recommend you play with the Spyder. You HAVE a fair number of years of experience pointing it where you want your ball to go. If you get a new gun, it will take a while to learn where to point it efficiently. It will "feel" different and it will point different too. A learning curve to deal with along with new play. If you LIKE it and can Afford it, then you will eventually want a tournament marker. Lots of used ones in the tournament crowd that gets tired of the game... If you are looking for something NEW to challenge your skills as a paintball player, then take up scenerio ball. You might include that in your definition of rec ball but I don't. Thus the mention. That is a whole different game! A tactical game where teamwork WINs the game. Finesse, slealth, smarts, quick thinking, win over brute force in head to head firefights. Don't worry, you find plenty of firefights to get into. Night games are a scream after you go to a couple and figure out what you can do by getting it done to you a few times. Night play is strictly finesse play. Last night game You couldn't see you hand in front of your face. I walked into their base about 15 steps behind some recycling opponents. Managed to overhear them give the password and gave it as I came in. I walked right up to their stationary tank guarding the base and asked a guy to hold a flashlight on it to 'see the paint job'. He was nice enough to do it. I blasted the tank's "kill plate" with my RPG from about a foot away. Bullseye! That puckered up everyone's sphincters when it went off! The Tank and Everyone within a 30 foot radius was DEAD including myself! The bulk of their defending forces. About 5 minutes later the base was overrun by our side. I wonder why? Probably no tank or defenders.... You can play 2 days and a night of paintball for a $40-70 entry fee and a case of paint. A lot of bang for the buck. And you get to play with a lot of NEW toys that don't cost as much to build as a tournament marker will cost you.
