Ghillie usage DOES tend to be over-rated for airsoft, unless the game style and length makes it a benefit. I've had my ghillie for about two years now, have played at least once per month, mostly twice per month, have used it about a half dozen times (including my using it to play a Spec Ops/SWAT sniper as a movie extra). They are cumbersome, snag a lot, and slow to move around in. I've cut out a great niche for myself by going full BDUs and webbing, MP5 to hunt buggers down, and M24 constantly slung on my back. I use the M24 when the chance arises, useful for longer range shots or quiet shots, and have done the sniper role a LOT without a ghillie. Personaly, I think if you go the sniper route as a sniper/Designated Squad Marksman, you'll gain the skills from both skillsets, and will greatly benefit the way you do the airsoft sniper role. If you have a good ghillie, do the sniper role without it (often times game type doesn't make you want to lug the extra peice of gear to the car in the morning) numerous times, when you do use the ghillie, it'll work even better. Is just a tool (a smelly one at times, recall Quick Pass 2 I walked by a sitting Droc at 7am wearing my ghillie pants, he made a comment on how my ghillie stunk pretty bad) that helps you remain undetected, but it doesn't make a sniper, a "sniper". Your actions, knowledge of airsoft ballistics and fieldcraft makes you an airsoft sniper, not just a ghillie.
