I have been wanting an A-5 for awhile and couldn't pass this up. Came bone stock with an E-grip for a pretty good price. So far, I have added the stock, flatline, UTG tri-rail, and mag kit. I also got a QEV for the Cylone with larger lines. I already have squishy paddles on my 98, so will probably be a cheapskate and just switch back and forth for the time being if needed, until my wife stops hyper ventilating about the amount of money I keep spending on this crap. Also have an X7 hopper on the way.

Future plans may include a site riser/red dot/flashlight/laser combo and a possible a new front grip.

I like the looks of the A-5  lot better. I have been looking for a deal for a couple of months and came across it. With purchase price included, I have less into this than my 98.

Start looking up something expensive on the internet (sports cars, snowmobiles, boats, etc.) and leave the information up for her to find.  When she asks about it, just start talking about how cool something like that would be or how it looks like the one you've always wanted/had when you were younger and similar stuff that will make her think you are having a mid-life crisis.  Then, after a few weeks of this, tell her you're thinking about skipping the sports car (or whatever) and just upgrading some of your paintball stuff.  She probably won't mind at all by then.

^^^ You're a bit evil. 

Unfortunately, she is probably right in how much I spend. I tend to be a little obsessive about my hobbies which is why I try to have as few as possible. About 7 years ago, I started building model cars again and within a year, probably had (have) 100-120 models. All of which are now sitting in storage next to my boxes of diecast.
