A PTW is great when it works. No traditional-AEG mechanics will match it. (you've got to gear an AEG up really fast to get that kind of trigger response...then FA is way too fast...durability/reliability goes down the pooper...etc...)
When a PTW goes down...they're actually very, very easy to fix. But expensive. That's the real Achilles Heel of the PTW...it's reliance on its electronics and the price of the replacements.
There's not a whole lot can be done when you're slinging the same weight sub-6mm plastic BB from either an AEG or a PTW at the same velocities. The way the hopup is applied on a PTW is innovative...and I think if it's working right it's more consistent.......but a nicely dialed in AEG is probably be as good (and/or for all intents and purposes for the typical ranges/distances in a game the same).
From what I've seen/handled of a Revolution mechbox...the trigger performance is great. Again, when it works. Parts are pricey and I've heard of too many horror stories getting them to be reliable (time+$$$) to dive into one myself.
So ithe Revo costs as much as a nice AEG...it's parts are expensive and not really easily available (i.e. got to order everything in)...and even then it's not necessarily a "drop-in" fit. You will get the performance of a PTW...but not the other features (i.e. quick FPS swap, ease of working on the mechbox, stop on empty, etc...). Not a winning combo.
There's some great deals on for PTW's...still a lot more than a clone setup but getting close to a nicely done up traditional AEG.
Best of luck.
