as for an advantage over a "cheap semi" like balla's timmy for example.
Since he is so helpful and opinionated I will compare my cocker to his 2k2

My cocker is:
Lighter
faster
more accurate
has less recoil
Quieter

not to mention that mine is unique. ( I personally don't put alot of worth on cosmetics but some do.)

Balla does have way more posts than I do, and 8 coolness points too... so take my opinion for what its worth. I am also not AGG and make no guarentees that a cocker will be AGG ever.

Now if you were to compare an ebladed autococker to an ION or promaster, to guns that I would consider to be great starters you are going to spend more on a cocker for similar performance. vs the ion you will get a better fit and finish with a cocker and maybe a better over all feel. (I have not shot a promaster yet, but should be getting some soon, and I look forward to it.)

The long and short of it is, you need to go out and shoot alot of guns. then take your $300 - $600 and decide what suits your needs for the amount of $$ you have.
