I wouldn't mind a hopper update as I just have the old conventional kind.
Level 10 bolts aren't a hassle if setup properly from the start. They are really quite simple in their design and operation. Level 7 bolts are ultimately the easiest to maintain, but I prefer a level 10 bolt in all of my mags. I've never had any issues with any of mine.
If you happen to use small paint, which is alot of the paint these days, the next ball in the stack can sit farther down in the breach and get clipped by a level 7 bolt. This causes a crack that can lead to unexplained barrel breaks when firing. A level 10 bolt can help reduce that effect by reducing the starting force of the bolt and slowing it down.
Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
