need new gun

[cbisjr]

hi, been playing alot of rec paintball for 6 months and i'm tired of renting. my budget for the marker is under $200, but i will invest in more parts later. so i'm looking for a well made gun with the ability to upgrade. i've narrowed it down to 3 guns:
Pirahna G3 STS, Spyder TL+ and JT excell 3.0. pbreview ranks all of them well, but i need more info to make a final decision.
1st, Which gun do you recommend? 2nd, some have said the JT gun is the better stock gun, but cant upgrade. thats why most go to PMI or Kingman. T/F?
thanks for your advice!

i like the piranha more then the spyder.and i do not know anything about the jt excell.

I've heard from alot of people that the piranha is a better quality marker than the spyder. Performance wise, those guns are all the same, the only difference will be in quality of construction and customer service

1. I reccomend the spyder xtra, its not on the list, buts its similar to the tl+.

2. This isnt true. You can put most spyder upgrades on the JT, such as barrels, regulators, etc.

Plus, my personal experience with my Spyder Compact was not too good (grip frame is currently snapped in half)

excellerator 3.0 is a great gun, i was one of the first to have it. It will take any spyder accessory, including but not limited to..
grip frame
bolt
barrel
LPC
x-chamber
drop
thumbscrew velocity adapter

the grips are kinda funky on the jt markers, are they standard 45 frames, will stickys fit on them? also are they metal or plastic?

[unknown]

45...
yes..
