Difference between CS/Integrated Mag.

I've read up some posts about the advantages and disadvantages of N-Strike's Clip System and the new Dart Tag's Integrated Mag. People have been arguing that one is better than the other. I would like to make things straight: None are superior and both have their benefits in different situations.

Let's list out the Pros and Cons, as always:

N-Strike Clip System
Pros:
-->Can bring an infinite amount of clips with you (only limited by how many how can carry)
-->Able to choose clip size (6, 18, 35)
-->Quick reloading time (Able to eject a spent mag and reload a fresh mag in mere seconds)
-->'Customizable' (Duct tape 3 Extended Clips together and you get 18 x 3 = 54 darts)

Cons:
-->After you have spent all your mags, you would not have enough time to take them out and refill them slowly, one dart at the time on-the-go (whilst being pursued by someone, etc).
-->Extra weight.
-->Dart jutting out of the clip awkwardly may cause unwanted jam during panic situations when reloading.
-->Only works on Streamline Darts


Dart Tag 2011 Integrated Magazine
Pros:
-->Can bring and infinite amount of darts , without the need to clips, thus lightening load. (bringing a mesh bag with darts)
-->Quick reloading time on-the-go (you could insert the darts into your mag and shoot whilst in a panic situation; will never be caught vulnerable reloading a clip.)
-->Simple (you do not need to think about where to 'dispose' you clip after you've spent them, it's simply load more darts into integrated mag and shoot.
-->Very effective in a panic situation in nerf wars. (Tried and tested proven)

Cons:
--> Fixed clip size (6 or 16)
-->Quick reloading time on-the-go, but slow reloading time when refilling the entire mag (from 0 - 6/16)
--> 'Non-Customizable'
-->Only works on Dart Tag darts and Whistler Darts


See for yourself and make your own judgement! These are just my opinions. It is up to you to determine the correct situation to use it.
