p35x plenum has that degas screw. I've been thinking about using clocking shims to rotate it 90. Cutting out a tiny bit of stock and threading the 4mm to an m8 threaded hole for my own reg gauge on the X. this is a polished p35. No extra energy, just better aesthetics. I do like that Cheek piece more than the wood one the X has. The M-Lok rail built in is a nice feature.

The Bullshark has a 19 inch barrel. Two inches longer than the SkyHawk. The Bullshark weighs less than the SkyHawk and has two different size hand grips and cheekpieces. The Bullshark has a removeable forward hand grip which I don't like. The Bullshark has a five year warranty. The SkyHawk has a one year warranty. I would like to know the weigh of the pellet used to obtain 950 fps.

IDK… Maybe had a couple of the first generation and even after adding a HUMA reg, they were crap. If I remember correctly the barrels were crappy. They were hit and miss. I just think that for 700 it’s a bit pricey.

The P35 barrel is 450mm long and the Skyhawk Gen 2 looks like it's the same. The bullshark's barrel is 490mm long.
I agree the price increase is not insignificant, I wonder if the tarriff situation affected the price. I do kind of like having a gauge on the plenum, it lets me go back to where I was better, but I would not pay this much for one. I prefer wood stocks but that one is stained beech so it is relatively heavy and not overly pretty - not like a nice walnut stock to my eye. It also would not fit me. So that isn't really a plus in my case. I'll stick with my P35s but I think this is an interesting minor step forward.
32 fpe is right where my P35 is with 21 grain H&N Baracudas. I'm not sure you could push a 15.89 fast enough to get to 32 fpe. My P35-25 likes JSBs but my 22 and 177 do not. But if you want to get 900+ fps from a 22 caliber P35 you'd need to use something like a 15.89 or a 14.66 grain. I don't think I've ever shot pellets this light in it. It doesn't care for 18 grain but will push those pretty fast so I didn't try lighter ones. My P35-177 will push 10 grain pellets over 900 fps. I usually use 10.65 grain Baracudas in it at about 880 fps but it will push those over 900 fps too. I've never tried tuning it for 8 grain.
