A well designed hopup can add alot of accuracy, but they are few and far between in airsoft. A few models do an excellent job, most add quite a bit of innaccuracy.
For game ranges at reasonable FPS, a hopup is the only realistic way to maintain decent accuracy at range, without being silly and lobbing your shots.

If you're looking for medium or short range, hopup is just getting in the way, but you need to make up for it's absence with alot of power.

It just depends what angle you're coming from. A 450fps pistol wouldn't even be permitted at most games here, so it's kind of moot if it has good accuracy, and I'm not sure I'd like to run up against it in CQB all that much. So it may be more accurate, but race guns aren't for gaming. I think you guys are talking from different ends of the spectrum. Everybody try and stay friends.
