well i got my 98c and it is nice and accurate.  I'm getting a 14" J&J ceramic barrel for it.  and maybe a jcs stock not sure what style yet.  but i will eventualy get the a-5 w/ response in the future,  maybe when the price comes down.
paint'em all, let the ref's sort them out!

The A-5 owns the 98 Custom?

Afraid not, kiddies ...

My 98 has NEVER EVER let me down, and the last two times I have taken the A-5 out for some full-contact paint brawling, it has taken a dump, and I went back to the 98.

I still like the A-5, but has thus far been far more high maintenance than I would have expected from a Tippmann product.

Oh, and BTW ... the Tippmann techs have had their hands on it twice, so sending it back to the factory isn't much of an option.

If I attack, follow me

If I flee, kill me

If I die, avenge me

I own a 98c and A-5 both with flatline and both with stocks, no extra fire power upgrades just a good elec. hopper for the 98c and a nice expansion chamber, and they both work excellent so long as you use good paint, they have both there advantages and disadvatages i guess, but IMO i would go with an A-5, its basiccly a 98c with all the kinks worked out, but don't get me wrong i will always love my 98c she held me through thick and thin, and she still gets me 1 shot 1 kills.

plus upgradeing the a-5 is easier u can just take off the grip frame off the a-5 but u have to open the entire 98 just to change stuff
