So ever since Trbo323 (sorry if I misspelled that) recommended that I might take a look at the PMR, I did. And I like it.

So now I can't decide whether I should get the VS2 or the PMR. Here's what I got so far.

PMR
Reasons to get: better than vs2, look sick, great price for that good of a gun, etc.
Reasons not to get: It's costs a little more than I have, so I'll have to save up a while, I don't know if I actually need something that good, harder to maintain (which is kind of a big downer because I've never really maintained a gun before, this is my first one).

VS2
Reasons to get: Good price for a good gun, it's a good beginner's e-gun, etc.
Reasons not to get: I can get a PMR.

Help?

I say look for a used PMR...they're fairly common, you can find good prices on them, and yes, it really IS a good gun. Maintenance isn't that HARD per se, it's just very COMMON that you have to relube. All that's involved in routine maintenance is pulling the entire bolt assembly out, cleaing it off, and relubing. Then whenever you start to have inconsistent fps on it, pull open the HPR, clean and lube that. There is no LPR to worry about ever.
I definitely think the VS2 is a great gun, but you can probably find a used PMR (that might already have the back cap upgrade) for about the same price as a VS2 new.

Ok, thanks. Do you have any recommendations about where I could find a deal like this?

ebay sometimes, BST on the nation, I found my deal on my PMR locally. Check local shops, some have a paintball classifieds where people can sell their gear locally (my local shop does this). Keep your eyes and ears open, and don't just jump at the first thing that comes along, be patient and make sure to get what you want (of course, sometimes a deal can be just too good to pass up, that's the reason I have my PMR, I didn't want one, but it was simply too good a deal (PMR + UL barrel + UL frame + back cap + 68/4500 for $210)).

Since your in that price range for the PMR, you can also look at the Mini and Fusion. Out of the VS2 and the PMR I would go with the PMR because I've heard nothing but good reviews on it.
