In general terms, a 13mm barrel airgun provides for
-> more power as compared to an 11mm barrel airgun of equal length and at equal pressure, PROVIDED that the barrel is sealed with the Mamba kit (or similar) and
-> more shaft speed, PROVIDED you down-size from the standard 8mm shaft diameter to at least 7mm AND use a barrel sealing device.

An 11mm barrel airgun on the other hand is much easier to load and offers greater shaft speed on an airgun without a sealing kit (less water to expel).

Unless you are going to install a sealing kit IMHO the odds are clearly in favour of the Stealth/Spark mimetic. If you intend to install a sealing kit, it is for you to decide whether you value raw power over ease of use (and still plenty of power!).

Personally, I am using Mamba- / Kara-yo-kitted Stealths/Sparks 97 and 110 in the Med.

Cheers
Ulysses has very well spoken:
Stealth=Spark (same gun rebranded)
Stealth/Spark is better than Asso without Mamba kit
Asso with Mamba kit is better than Stealth/Spark
