well that's pretty much the problem. Lack of funding and donations, which is why I limited all of my experiments to springs only. Anything beyond that would've been too expensive - and even still, it took me almost a year to unload all of the springs used in my tests.
Another reason is the number of variables involved when it comes to a physical system such as an AEG gearbox. Setting up accurate tests would be EXTREMELY time consuming. But hey, if someone is willing to put down the right number in cold hard cash, I'm sure there would be lots of ppl willing to do it.
Tom's hardware is subsidized fairly heavily by advertisers & sponsors as well as companies who are willing to give "samples" of their products for the purpose of review & testing. He's funded enough to make the site his full-time job. It would be cool if some of us could be paid a full-time salary to play with BB guns... but as far as North Americans goes, that's definitely NOT happening. The airsoft market isn't as large as the computer industry and frankly, I doubt airsoft companies in Asia could give a shit.
Unfortunately, I can't offer any other reviews or comparisons for Angel products. Their silent head set is the only item I've ever tested. I've handled their spring guides and pistons, but my gut just tells me not to spend not too much time on them. Don't ask me why, I just do. I can't see them being much better or worse than Systema products.
As a side note, I use Systema as my base-line for all comparisons.
