Mega darts have MUCH more momentum than Elites (F=ma), and the massive plungers they use to launch them put out a lot of force for the dart to absorb. That's why the Magnus (which is slightly smaller than a Stryfe) gets 85. They also hit harder. The foam is thin and they're expensive, but that's what Mega Stefans are for. Efficient in everything... duh. The mega series lack the compact size, the amount of darts it holds, dart price, and more However, they can have massive dart capacity if they are modded to accept Elites. I estimate a Magnus could hold 11 Elites when double-stacked, and a Centurion as much as 35, also double-stacked. Elites are cheap, and in terms of the Centurion, the large size isn't as much of a problem because snipers tend not to move around as much. For the Magnus... well, as I said before, it's slightly smaller than a Stryfe. People use the Stryfe as a sidearm. It shouldn't be that much of a hassle.
