I just want to ask you guys what would you rather have between AEG vs PTW when you got enough money to upgrade/modify your gun? Also, the reason why.
*This thread is not about which is better and worse, it's about what would you have when you got money and why.*

Whew some heated debate...and hmmm 90 yards accuracy out of an airsoft gun!! consistent groupings at 200feet!! wow? some pretty tall ones here also ;-)
Anyway the question: if money was not a factor which one? well I might not be the best one to give an opinion since I have 14 AEGs sitting in my locker, all kinds of platforms, different brands, some I have built from scratch! obviously I like variety and since I do gun doctoring I love the satisfaction of the build and tuning!
Where I live and play, I have been up against PTWs for years, there are plenty around here, I see guys playing around adjusting and repairing these PTWs too(hop ups and motor) , now in fairness I see a few that perform very well, but 400fps is 400fps no matter how many times you say it, I can pull anyone of my 400fps AEgs out of my locker and it will shoot 400fps all day long, with good name brand matching up grade parts, mosfet trigger, proper wiring and motor on a 11.1 lipo battery, not only is the air seal consistent, the trigger response is very ample, oh yes they will break from time to time, but even 1 million dollar formula 1 race car engines blow up! remember also most PTW shooters shoot semi "most of the time" (low cap mags) AEGs shooting mostly a diet of semi tend to be much more reliable also, rather than a run and gun 400 round hi-cap 400fps shooting full auto all day.
I think in the end only experience of both worlds will be your answer, some guys can play with one gun for years and be happy, some of us change them like the weather, right now I am playing with a Masada that after $120 in parts and about 2hrs of tuning, I would put up against any AEG or PTW shooting same fps, total cost with mags and battery..less than half of a PTW set up!!
"If money is no object" and you can live with one gun, sure buy a PTW, one way or an other, either out of the box of after a couple visits to a gun doc, it will shoot as good or better than most AEGs! bottom line will be when you put the sights on and pull the trigger of any gun you are shooting.
