I think your labouring under some false ideas of what separates PTWs from AEGs.
PTWs cannot use AEG bodies, nor can they use real bodies with the exception of fitting a real upper with some machining.
By virtue of their design a PTW body has much tighter tolerances then you will ever achieve with an AR based AEG, end of story.
PTWs are correctly dimensioned in many ways that an AEG is not:
Correct body width, AEGs are wider.
Correct pistol grip width, AEGs are again wider.
Mil-Spec buffer tube.
PTWs perform well because they share no gearbox design features with AEGs beyond the basic concept.
They have several high and low points which have already been covered ad nauseum along with their solutions.
I will say however that I've witnessed accurate 80-90 yard shots with a modded PTW from both sides of the BBs path.
If your in it for the looks then your priorities are probably not in-line with why most folks get a PTW.
