for that price range, a 68ci/4500psi is your best bet. but if you want smaller 47/4500 is ok. it might be only $20 cheaper which isnt really worth it. you might be able to get a good deal on ebay, but other than that most of 68ci size are around $220.

I went to purchase a fibre wrapped tank, and noticed they had high pressure and low pressure, both for the same price.  I asked the salesman to explain the difference, he had no idea; I have a lpk, do I need the lp bottle, does it make a difference, could someone in the know please explain the difference, thanks.

What size tank you want is really up to you....go to the local pbshop in yer area and look at what the shop has to offer and also look at tthe link and see the difference on how many shots can be achieved on each HPA tank  http://www.ottersccustoms.com/air.html (scroll half way down)

If you're running the low pressure kit on an A5 or M98, you still want to use the high pressure tank (assuming you have a regulator on your gun). The High Pressure tank will have an output around 800psi. You use your regulator to get it down to the correct operating pressure for your gun (probably in the 400psi range).

Crossfire tanks are definitely the way to go. I wouldn't recommend any other brand.
