I already have a JCS double trigger with E-GRip, Flatline barrel, Ricochet R-5 hopper.  What should I get next or should I get a new gun in the high end range.  I play speedball but don't want to spend too much.

Don't cheap out on tanks, any way I suggest getting an ION. You will be wasting money if you are going from an A-5 to a high end without a good amount of knowledge of how high end electrics work. With the money you save you could get the the ion, fiber wrapped HPA tank, and a nice barrel.
Tippman A-5:
R/T
Freak Jr. Kit

Coming:
68/3000 Crossfire
D.O.P. Bullet Drop

Look theres some stuff about the Ion I just cant stand.  I don't like the fact that my friends didn't come with detents.  I don't like the adjustability of it.  And the reason why they arent extremely reliable like my tippmann has probably something to do with the design being rushed or sp tried to make the parts cheap to lower the price to below 300.  I just dont trust em.  Both of my pballin friends have em and they both broke today for the twelfth time so they were sittin frustrated while I ripped on noobs and teamers w/ my tippy.  No offense but the Ion just doesn't have me on its side of things yet.

HPA is not cheap; at least not the good stuff. I say at LEAST a 68/3000 tank, CF, of course. Trust me, they are worth it. You will beat yourself up if you cheap out on HPA.
