A-5 will be much more reliable and likely better in every way.
Tippmann A-5
Polished Internals
E-Grip
Ape Board
JCS Blade Trigger
QEV
8" Bigshot + Apex
Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap
Palmers Stabilizer
68/4500 Crossfire

Stocks are overrated. You can just hold your airtank up to your shoulder and it's just as good. Also, A5's will be better than any Spyder in virtually every way, except it's kind of awkward to shoot it if you're left handed because of the huge cyclone/hopper on the right side.

One upon a time, this would have been a no-brainer, but IMHO it's a toss-up.

My A-5 was a disaster, even after three trip to Tippmann.

I have 2 98's and a C3, but would never consider owning another A-5.

If I attack, follow me

If I flee, kill me

If I die, avenge me

What do you play with your 98's, speedball or woods?
