Go for the Ion. You can change everything about them if you so choose. Not too mention, they're great guns right out of the box. All you need is HPA and a decent hopper.

Hey,

Ions are overall better, far more upgradable, faster, just all around better in my opinion. However...you need a motorized hopper and I think it runs HPA...get HPA anyway.

Also, future referance, make sure you can only cast a vote once for polls.

Good luck!

If you already have a 98, I deffinitely wouldn't get an A-5. The only difference really is that the A-5 has a cyclone. I say upgrade the 98 or get an Ion.

Do what you want to do, not what people on the internet tell you.

well ions are realy light and realy fast, but since you play alot of woods you might want an a-5. don't get me wrong ions are great in woods, and all. but need a HPA tank and a fast hopper. do you shoot alot, and move alot? or do you tend to shoot less and stay in the back?
