you can make g&g CMs purr really well, but look to spending the cost of the gun and probably another 100$ in parts to ensure it won't break on you.

Any gun will break, it's a question of how much have you set aside to make sure it can be fixed when it does. Going with a 200~$ gun you'd need closer to the same amount set aside to keep it running, just in case. With higher quality guns, I would still set aside the 200$ or so, especially if you don't want to try to fix it yourself.

I've had 3 bag guns given to me for repair and reassembly in the past year, all because the owners tried it themselves, they ordered garbage parts, lost other parts and couldn't figure out how to put it back together. In the end it cost them MORE because they had to come to me to put it back together for them and I had to order them MORE parts because the ones they chose either didn't work or were unnecessary.

Know your limits, budget and skill wise and make a decision from that. The season is still 2-3 months away, so you have time to save.
