I'm everything I need to APE out my A-5

I'm getting the grip from tippmannparts.com for about $30 shipped, and I have an offer from someone for the ape board and the ape double trigger.

this is the board and stuff

and this is the trigger and things

The guy wants $115 for them both, is it worth it?  that's over $55 each, and they're $70 new...  Do you guys think it matters?

Now i'm thinking the APE trigger is overkill.   I think i'm just going to offer him for the board and buy a dead on blade trigger from tippmannparts.com when i order the grip.  It'll end up costing me about $40 less for the whole setup.  Sound like a plan?

I'm pretty sure the ape board comes with a hardened armature pin.

I'm not gonna waste extra money on the jcs trigger im just gonna get the dead on blade trigger and mod it myself.

I've decided, I'm gonna ask him one more time how cheap he can get the board for me, and if it's no more than like $10 cheaper, I'll just get it new when I order my grip halves.
