Which one and why? I canty really decide cause everyone has  the 98 so i might be leaning towards the Carbine. Why is the carbine more expensive?

I have a 98 C and love it. If you want to upgrade a gun after a while then get the 98 C. It is really good stock for a begginer player and for an am player.

Carbine is good. I like them. But i don't know to much about them. Ask Enos. He's the king of crabines. He can help u.

Id opt for a Carbine with a 16oz moly tank anti siphoned tank to start.

There is a number of reasons i prefere the Procarbine over the 98c (I have owned but only have the Carbine now). 

Carbine pros over 98c

Smaller
Lighter
CHEAPER to upgrade
Easier to feild strip and maintain
More Durable/Relible
IMO better looking and more comfortable to shoot.
Better out of the box accuracy and overall performance
Does not need many upgrades to perform GREAT

98c Pros over Carbine

A tad cheaper to buy originally
Easily upgraded tons of drop in goodies (Makeing these guns very modular but also vevy unoriginal)
Lighter trigger pull STOCK  (my carbines is actually lighter than a 98c)
Has a front grip for those who like em.


And heres a pic of my Pro/Carbine not done yet with it though.

i would go with the 98c over prefference, but if you like the feel better for the other gun go for it. hold both and see what one you like the feel of best. overall i like the pro-carbine only because it looks durible as heck and enos is working on an awesome new mod called the carbine overdrive kit. it is like the e-bolt for the 98c, but it's completely pnumatic(sp?). very awesome.
