It's not about how much hop you can apply to a BB, it's about how consistently you can add the same spin in the same direction.
The hop rubber is actually significantly more important than the barrel, and it's a much more noticeable performance change than just upgrading to a barrel.
And how tight the barrel is has NOTHING to do with how accurate the gun is. You can get the same super accurate results from a 6.13 as a 6.02, the difference is you'll be able to do it for a few games with the 6.13, but you'll notice accuracy loss after a few mags in the 6.02
