Money really isnt a huge concern for this, now I am unsure if i want a cqbr or the fullsize(from DTT is the gun assembled or a challenge kit? Karma i think your the guy to ask right?), is the inner barrel longer on the fullsize and will it be an advantage over the cqbr that i will notice (most my play will be outdoor so a longer barreled setup is ok with me).
I was also gonna purchase the DTT pmags (two sets) as well as the red followers (good idea bad idea?).
DTT hopup mod also a good investment?
also the battery is another point for me do I stick with the 9.6v or is the 11.1 lipo a decent idea (or is the lipo gonna exceptionaly accelerate the wear on the electronics life span?) I am well versed in lipos so care and use arent an issue.
is there anything else I should be looking at for the initial buy?
any help or insight is appreciated

All my new PTW are purchased from Chris at Double Tap he is the go to guy for Systema PTW or FCC. Safe your cash and get a FCC full custom, I have two 2012 from Systema utterly dissapointed with them, end up selling them off as parts. Chris at DTT is great, he helped me deal with FCC in getting in my custom Noveske NST rifle. without going through the boring details the FCC full gun blows the 2012 out of the water, I'm glad DTT is their authorized dealer but my wallet hates it. To tally up the total cost it's actually cheaper than what you or I would have spent on a Systema 2012 to work the same as the FCC TW
DTT mags are awesome and as for LiPo the FCC TW will run on 15C LiPo without issue. One of the advantage of getting the FCC is that all the issue with the Systema like faulty electronics, motor overheating, switch boards burning out is all resolved in fact they made the PTW platform perform as they should have been coming out of the factory from Systema
