Generally, my kit wasn't horribly expensive. The vest was about $80 or so with shipping. The holster was about $40, and the drop pouch was around $60. Really, the only part that was expensive was the Gallet helmet which was about $150 or so.
I have a C8A2 in construction as well, complete with C8 metal body and an EOTech 552 replica. I'm having mechbox issues, so it's not up and running yet. But I really like my CA M15 / C7A1. I like the rifleman position, and with its tightbore barrel, this gun can reach out and touch people a fair distance away with a whopping 21 bb/s rate of fire. It's a great gun and I love it. I keep the Elcan sight on that one because I like the range. For shorter ranges, I prefer the EOTech or iron sights.
Once I get my C8 running, I'll be sending off my CA receiver to have the Diemaco / CF markings professionally engraved and have a proper C7A1. I don't know, but the C7A1 look just doesn't appeal to me really.
