13cui Tanks are available for HPA but they cost the same as 48cui ones so you'd have to decide.
AEG Magazines are still a big plus for me, I don't have to worry about damaging mags doing tactical reloads and they are easier to get a hold of.

I would have to say if gas-in-mag GBBRs were built with top notch materials they would last a long time but the manufacturers and aftermarket part makers would be out of business, I swear RA-TECH never existed until GHK, WA, and WE came out.

It's all one big scheme to milk us of our money!
RA-Tech biggest success in their story was they're the first to make steel bolt carriers, bolt catch and aluminium nozzle. I hate to say it but I know the prices from Taiwan, and they're not charging anywhere close to Taiwanese standard, they are after North America and Europe the whole time. RA-Tech has a factory to make for them, even Justin's CNC Steel for his own daytonagun's quality is higher.

As for higher quality parts for GBBR, as much as I want it, all I can say is you're best bet is to use firearm parts. I hate Americans in the south can do it easily. Iron Airsoft Receiver (Firearm spec, and works with firearm selector without mods) although getting F/A parts is next to impossible. Its legally to own every single parts for guns except receiver if you don't have PAL/RPAL. Using Firearm Receiver (lower) will maked you stick to semi and you can't discharge it as our lovely Canadian laws forbid it.

IMHO the internal mag is a dead route, as I said before.
$100 for a die-cast cheap plastic magazine is ridiculous. I'd be expecting a HPA (1500psi w/ proper hydro) build via CNC aluminium or carbonfibre.

$200 for a lower receiver kit? you can buy Full auto DPMS parts for less (basically the CYMA/D-Boys interms of AR-15) For Canadians, goodluck inorder to purchase FA parts in US you need Class II License atleast and US DOD will NEVER allow export of those stuff.

The only thing that makes me want to go back to internal mag is that there's more innovation there. GHK, SRC, Real Sword, VFC, and WE are developing new models (not variations of ol AR-15) while the external air is still really limited to...
AR-15 (Sun project, Daytonagun, Escort)
SR-15 (Daytonagun)
MP5 (Escort)
MP44 (Shoei)
MG42 (Shoei)
AK (Daytonagun)
L85, Bizon, FNC, FAL (Daytonagun, still developing...last updated 2 years ago)
