Well, if you're looking to get into milsim, go with the X7. Otherwise, I would reccomend getting the CPE. You'll be able to do a lot more with the CPE and you can take the hopper you use with it to another gun should you decide to upgrade.

It'll keep up with the Egrip, but you may want to think about replacing some of the internal components should you decide to buy one. I would reccomend a Halo or Reloader B, because should you decide to buy a better gun, you'll already have a hopper than keep up with it.

Not yet. It is coming out in late spring according to the website. I was talking to one of the guys at a Cousins proshop and he said there is a slight delay while they work out a kink in the trigger set up. basically the X7 has a thumb switch safety, nice and simple. The X7 will change it so that there is a third notch between the two, so it will be safety, 3 round burst, and what ever pre-set you want. Sounds nice to me.

X7 all the way. cause u can get e-grip on it & u can trick it out in more ways. And i bet u can trick it out for a good price.

The X-7 has not only a great look to it, but it is quite a bit lighter as well without having too much more bulk. If I ever pick up a second gun then I'd go with an X-7, but for now I have my good old reliable 98C.

Another thing about the X-7 that I noticed, most of the parts seem to be just for looks and a little pricey. Of course if your happy with the normal look of the gun then that isn't a big deal.

the performance right out of the box is wonderful
pretty decent shot with stock barrel
went through a hopper for no chops with the new cyclone
and extremely lighter than you would expect form looking at
