Is this a good deal?

1 Spyder Electra w/ EYE: 199.95$
1 Worrgames Stratos Preset N2 Tank - 68ci 4500psi: 99.99$
3 PE Basic N2 Tank - 48ci 3000psi: 119.85$ (It's for my 3 other markers that needs new tanks)
Shipping: 145.17$
TOTAL: 564.96$

So what you think? Should I go for it? Or?
Please comment your opinion


Edit:
Well, guys. I am pretty sure about where i'm gonna buy paintball now. But you said earlyer that I should go for the Ion XE. So I took a look at it and didn't like so much... But than! I saw the Dynesty Ion, and I fell in love with it, but I do want the Electra so much. But now, i'm so confused right now that it scares me. so please help... again ;p What should I choose? Dynasty Ion or Spyder Electra?
Give me your personal opinion.. Thanks, again

Why don't you just buy 4 worrgames stratos tank ? They are cheaper and bigger...

Prices are just fine, and the Electra is IMHO an awesome marker. I am aware that my opinion is biased because I have one, but it performed very well until now for me.

However, since you plan to use HPA, I would suggest you an Ion XE. They mostly fixed all the conception problems of the regular Ion, it's only 30$ more than the Electra, and it will shoot smoother. I choose the Electra because I needed a marker that run on Co2, and I would not run an Ion on Co2.

Agreed, if you're going HPA, go with the XE.

Yes, and those 3000psi tanks cost more than the 4500psi tank, which is cheaper, lighter, and holds more air

It'll get you even further below $600 while being worlds better than those 3000psi steelies

Where are you buying from?
They should have a free shipping option

And you sure you put 4 WGP tanks and not 4 PE tanks?

Oh I see : you're living in Sweden ! That's why you got that much shipping !

You should try to find a store in Sweden, or anywhere in Europe : you will save shipping fees alot. Shipping overseas is really expensive...

Oh, I see
I thought 119.95 was the price for each individual tank!

In any case, I'd stay away from steelies, and just use that one 4500psi tank on all your guns
If you want more tanks, buy as many 4500psi tanks as you can

I see. But I think you realize that the economies you can make are eaten by the overseas shipping. As I said, search in Europe for a good store of paintball, in the end you may saves more.

I'll do a little search by my side, but I cannot do any promises.

Are you factoring in customs and/or brokerage charges as well?

Import fees. I'm in Canada and anytime I order anything from abroad (usually the U.S) I am charged the taxes on the item being imported plus there is a small charge for Canada Post to ship the item from the border to my door. Canada Post and the USPS have a lot of reciprocal agreements but I'm not sure what the case with Sweden and the USPS would be. Also if a brokerage service is used like UPS or Fed ex they also charge a fee based on the amount of the items being shipped. These other charges are not calculated by any online shopping cart and will be due and payable upon delivery. Before you spend this much money make sure you do your homework the shipping charges will cover the sender's cost to get the items to you but you are responsible for any extras.
