Uhhh... so what's the problem again?
If the problem is that you can't make up your mind as to what gun you want... I doubt any of us here can help you with that. Only you can decide what you prefer. |

| So you have the 98c now and not the spyder? Don't have second thoughts. Tippys are great guns. I have had friends that all they used was Spyders and they traded them in for 98 customs. It is very durrable and if if you take care of it, it will last you a very long time. |

Same here we all had C-98's bought a field package. Now we are all moving to higher end markers. I'm still waiting for the '05 BKO/PDS to come out. -------------

Just upgrade your Tippy and it will be a great gun. My good friend bought a Spyder e-99 and all he had was problems with it. He then shot my 98c and wanted to get one himself. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Actually, it'll probably last for ever. Thee is not a part that cannot be repaired or replaced. And very inexpensively. |

Personal preference, entirely. You may like the looks of a spyder more, but you might like the durability and reliability of the 98 custom. You might want a gun that performs more quickly, regardless of quality, or you might want a gun that will last for 12 generations of players.
Think of everything you want in a gun, and can afford in a gun, and see which gun fits the description. |
