post counts back. i advise you don't get an autococker, as, judging by your post count,(which is finally back) and that you asked for easy maintenance and it be under $200 this is your first gun. Autocockers usually require high maintenance, some of which you can't do yourself until your more experienced, like being timed. I have a spyder tl-x, it is mechanical, but it can shoot pretty quickly, and you always have the option to upgrade to an electric trigger. The strock barrel isn't that good, but with a good barrel, like maybe the progressive or teardrop, it can be a pretty good marker. with the capability to be upgraded. Thats my $0.02. The Tl-x also isn't that expensive if you wait for a few months maybe for the prices to drop, but only if your short on $
