Upgrade, SLG, or what?

Im struggling with what to do next, I never like to ask what gun to get, but Im in a real jam. The thing is, this topic is a mix between upgrading and which gun is the best.

When I was playing just yesterday, I just couldnt take it anymore. It feels like Im trying to pull a 10 foot gun out of a bunker to fire. I like to play all types of games, so I could never decide between ups, but this decided it.
I was thinking all day of how to shorten the length, like a drop and an evil 10 inch pipe set, and it'll be all good, but I added the cost up and now Im starting to wonder...
I have a 98C with a
-14 inch Evil Driver barrel,
-Hybrid rail and on/off asa
-BT adjustable folding stock (dont use it too much though),
-and a 68/45 Dye Throttle.

Now I can shoot faster than anyone I know with a stock mech tipp, but I cant remain very accurate doing so. So my wishlist would include the drop, the pipe kit, an inline reg, and possibly an ebolt. And really Im STILL left behind. I love my tippy, but getting a new gun is just obviously better for my wallet, right? Hmmm.....



So now Im thinking either the Proto SLG or a Promaster, but the ICD just because they're going for cheap. The thing is, I really would like to have a Proto, as I could trust it will be epic, and the Promaster is old and I cant trust ICD as much.  I also like the tininess of the SLG.... (why do I love tiny guns so much?)

I dont know, are there any opinions? I really dont want to spend the loot for a new gun, but its just smarter... i think... OH DEAR!

Sorry if I rambled, I do that alot : )

I know, I was thinking about getting a used dm4 or dm5, then I started to think about a used mini, and in the end I want something nobody has screwed with.
If I could a gun from someone I trused (Like a FRIEND, ie), that would change the story. I cant trust any one on pbnation or even less free-for-all sites like model98.org.

Getting a minion cheap and used would be oh my god nice but for example
1. How can I trust how well its been taken care of
2. All these forum sellings I dont dig. I like 3rd parties like ebay or amazon to make sure nobody gets frauded.



Yeah frauded is a word. totally

The same "escrow" or 3rd-party system can be used just about anywhere. MCB (http://www.mcarterbrown.com) is another fantastic site for BST forums. They too have feed-back sections and I've yet to have a bad deal there.

BST forums are separated out into electro, mech, and pump.

300 is not a bad deal.

Alright, last question Ill be asking on a new gun, as Im sick and tired of.. asking questions.

I decided though it would be amazing to get a used high end, Im not. Not not not not. I like things where nobody touched the buttons and screwed with anything except me. Thats why I decided middle ground would be nice. Especially because I found a PMR for the same price SLGs go for, NEW. 250$

Im quite giddy, and I want to buy now, but do any of you think that waiting until after the holiday season will get me some lower deals on one? The paintball market seems to be generally demanded by stupid people, making the whole thing upside down, but usually things go lower after everyone's got Christmas off their mind.

Alright cool. Thanks guys, you helped a lot. If I turn out to be a lonely old man with 9 cats Ill remember you dudes when writing my will.
