Well, it depends on how much money you have to spend, what you want to do with your gun, and whether you play woods or speedball. Tell us that, and we'll give you an opinion. ------------- Never shall I fail my comrades |

A-5 takes more gas and feels different. I like the feel of my 98 custom over the A-5 my friend has. But its just preference. Anyway, the A-5 costs more and the parts for it cost more. But in the end you can get more for it. Just depends on how much $$$ you have. ------------- My Marker - Tippmann 98 Custom with: 14" Empire Twister, Double Trigger, Lightened Trigger Spring, Expansion Chamber, and 20oz tank.

if you have only done a few things to your 98c I'd get the A5 but if
you have spent more then 50$ on it in upgrades just keep it..

The A-5 is just an upgraded 98. Other than that you wont find enough of a difference to upgrade. I got my info from a reliable source. |

Keep the 98C, you'll have a better time upgrading it and fix it when it breaks. I know where everything goes in the 98C because it's easy to work with and you can totally change everthing about it. You've spent some money upgrading it and if you sell it to a pawn shop you'll just get $80 for it most likely. So, Take the money you've saved up and buy some more upgrades and play lots of woodsball. Woodsball likes the 98C, because it doesn't hog gas. You'll have problems with a gas hog. ------------- Gun Info: 98C E-Pro ACT 14in Stiffi Offset Mount RedDot 45mmScope Shocktech ShockFlyBolt RocketCock II Cyclone Feed Dog Leg All TechT Cyclone upgrades 4 guns and counting!! |

Switch to speedball and buy a Impy!!
Seriously though, keep the 98 and keep upgrading it. The A5 is a big time gas hog, but it is still a good gun for the price. ------------- doesent my sig suck? |

keep the 98c and get an electronic hopper. The A-5 doesn't use more gas though it just uses the gas that would normally be wasted. |
