I have one in my current VSR project. With the Raven 6.01, a ineball Bucking(soon to be switched for a Firefly Hard) and perfect compression I'm hitting 8x11s at 175 and trashcans at 250. I've never owned a Palsonite Tightbore or a regular PDI, so I don't have anything to compare it to.
Construction wise the major difference is that the regular PDI barrels are made from Stainless Steel, where the Ravens are made from a Carbon Steel compound giving it better corrosion resistiveness than the stainless tight bores. Granted that Airsoft BBs don't have any corrosive properties, the Ravens are just built to last longer without breaking the bank.
