What's you indoor FPS limit?
Because if it's 350fps, just run your AEG at 345fps indoors and outdoors.
A prometheus MS100 spring will give you the exact fps you need, and upgrade your hop rubber to a guarder clear right away. You'll have great range and accuracy for like $30.

The problems with ARES are the use of a few proprietary parts, as well as a general reputation of having crap internals, and weak externals.

ICS seems to do their own thing for externals, I've heard of a lot of problems locally with people trying to upgrade to certain RIS systems. And their internals go by the 15yr old standard, so if you want any kind of compression, you'll have to replace all the compression parts right away. And their crane stock batteries work on the single most retarded system i have ever laid eyes on, instead of a coiled wire, they use brushes on a slide that runs the length of the stock tube. So if you want a crane stock batt model, you'll have to clean those contacts frequently, especially if you play in adverse weather.

G&G is the way to go. Although their externals are about as strong as TM plastic, it's still stronger than most clone pot metal. And their internals are actually TM spec, so that makes upgrading/fixing them way easier.
