I would say leave your 98 as is. It pretty much doesn't need anything. An agitated hopper is all well and good because it carries from marker to marker but I am sure the shoot and shake is good for your 98. Save your money until you have enough to step up from a beginner marker.

Double-trigger wouldn't really help that much. What type of mask do you have?

He raises a good point. No matter how much u change your gun or setup, your mask won't need to change. Get a good one now so you won't have to worry about it later on. I suggest a Dye Invision. It's cheap ($65-80) and is pretty high quality with a good field of vision. Besides, a mask greatly improves your gameplay because it allows you to see better/worse and if it's more comfortable than your normal one, then you will have a better overall experience playing.

Also an excellent mask, alongside the Invision, is the JT Proflex. I was able to get mine for about $50 off of eBay (new).

You're both wrong. A Flex-8 is the most comfortable mask out there. If you disagree, you've obviously haven't worn one.

If you really feel that you don't like your stock trigger, then upgrade it by all means. If you can live with it, then I suggest doing so. You won't need an electric hopper unless your gravity fed is jamming to much, or you are outshooting it often. A nice mask would be a worthy upgrade, but if you don't wanna blow $50+ on a mask, get a V-force Pro Vantage for $25 new, they are great masks. If you want to spend more money on a mask, ebay is a great place.

Well, you WOULD be right except...neither of us made the claim that the Dye Invision or Proflex was the "most comfortable mask" but that they were all-around great masks for the price.

I honestly prefer a ProFlex over a Flex 8. As soon as JT comes out with a tourney legal soft eared Flex 8 though, I'm buying one. Like the Flex 7 to the Proflex, only with a Flex 8. Ya know?

I have tried one and took the Profiler, more protection (for my huge head) and it looks better IMO.
