I bought a custom pro because it was an awsome gun for killer price.. but now im really into paintball and i want something better...
  How much better is the a-5?  is it more accurate?  or is it just easier maintenance... am i better off just upgrading the custom pro i already have, or does the a-5 have more potential

oh buddy, my a-5 makes me horney when i pump out balls out of that gun with the e-grip...... 98C are rental guns and are ok, but the A-5 is a BEAST, god i love it, u really should invest in it, plus it has the cyclone feed,

    ... this gun really gives a woodballer a gud chance to say "HEY! ARE THOSE MY BALLZ...... ON UR FACE!!!

I say an upgraded Pro is better. The Tippmann Effect uses PRo E's so an egrip or a r/t is a good up. I got a Pro and have a new barrel and an electric hopper. Im gonna get an egrip and im thinkin about a warp feed.

Well, since you already have a custom pro I'd just upgrade it. If you think you are really going to get into the high end stuff later, then I'd hold off getting a new marker and save up for something really good. In the mean-time just put a few small upgrades on the custom pro.

Just hang on to the Custom and upgrade it for the time being. Then maybe, a few years down the road, invest in a nice electro or something of that nature.

Like he said go with the Custom Pro upgraded because it rulez and also the a5s accuracy isnt as good as the custom pro (in my opinion only) because i have used both

A-5's are good guns but if you have a custom pro stick with that. I suggest you buy the new VL evulution 2 loader and buy a flatline barrel. Then you would have a smaller A-5.

I love my Tippman 98 custom!

The A5 is basically a 98 with a cyclone. None of the other changes really affect performance. I'd stick with the Custom Pro, get an E Grip and a fast hopper (you can even get a cyclone if you really want to).

Just to alert everyone, "Gun maintenace and repair" is misspelled.

KlauseFluoride is right. I have both and like the A-5 better because it is more refined but it is not different enough to warant buying it if you have a perfectly good 98

keep the custom pro.  i have both as well, the a-5 is heavier and more bulky. 

get yourself an egip for your c-pro, and a WAS board.  then get a fast hopper like halo. the worst thing about the a-5 is its limited by the cyclone unless you want a q-loader or want to spend some money and get it centerfed.
