some advice would be nice.

ok im debating on getting an A-5 or a 98 custom or custom pro.

what would u guys get?

i really dont want to regret this, so im trying to get some feed back or some pros/cons between the two. but how i look at it, the 98 custom/custom pro is going to need a electronic hopper anyway right? and a good one is 50-100$ so if u add 100 to 130 u get 230 and thats around how much the a-5 is. so i guess its all about style and manuverability right?

get the 98 custom mate youcacn do what you want wid it !

check how they both feel in your hands, and then decide.  Either one will get the job done just as well, and if you go with the cpro, you have extra money to buy a hopper, but if you go with the a-5, you already have a good hopper.  It all evens out in the end, so see which feels best in your hands.

I've used a 98 custom for a little over 5 years now, and I would never think of getting rid of it. As far as which one to buy, I would go with the C-pro. It is essentially the same gun as the regular 98 custom, it just has a few extra features that come on it stock-(drop foward, better barrel, better finish, double trigger, newer sear setup, ect.). Personally, I would buy one of those. If you want the mechanical reliability of the cyclone, get one and put it on the 98! Thats what I did. Paired with the cyclone is a r/t and together, they work beautifully...anyway,  do what RavenGuard said and try both of them out in your hands. Your local pro-shop should be able to let you do this. They are both Tippmann, so you can't go wrong.
