For around US$140.00, what wold you suggest; the ICD promaster or the WGP superstock. Any other alternatives in this price range?

Or is the SP ion for US$200.00 the better choice?

With the Ion you're paying extra for parts availability in this case.

Do you have HPA and a nice hopper?

I say no on the Ion.

Promaster if you want something that is pretty much ready to go with little upgrade-ability. WGP if you want a marker that you can turn into a beast in no time.

HPA and a minimum of a 15bps hopper are needed for any of these markers btw.

Check pbnation and ebay for those markers. You can find extremely upped Ions for under $150 that have everything needed upgraded and a barrel kit.

My main concern is parts availability, followed by function and practicality. Its hard enough finding upgrades for my A5, so i would like something that needs little upgrading. I found a range relatively close to me (80 km away) that has a compressor.

I would say ICD or WGP they have been having alot of problems with the SP ion leaking.

ICD and WGP electros are ready to go right out of the box. No upgrades will really be needed, especially on the pro-masters from ICD.
