Nice for you. It appears that a hopped-up Civic might impress you, while you bash a Ferrari for being what, overpriced? ICS is nowhere near in the same league, but it is a step-up over a stock Marui, but only barely. More in the dsame league as a Classic Army, flawed, but workable. You haven't owned a PTW, so your "opinion" doesn't really count. Sorry, but that's the way of the world.

I would take a wager on that
I consistantly outrange just about everything I encounter, even gas Tanaka M700's shooting at their max velocity. And I can go from 300-500 fps in less than a minute, including battery change. Your HK11 can't and never would do that.
Put simply, you could never get that HK to perform like a PTW, no matter how much you spend. Next time you come to Alberta for a game, I think you'd find yourself out-ranged by my PTW, and end up eating crow.
You consistantly seem to bash the PTW, even though you considered buying one. My guess is you found out the cost investment, couldn't float it, so somehow this makes you feel better about not buying one.
But, back on topic, Marui is fine for a gun as long as you aren't expecting alot. You get a plastic body and very mediocre internals for $500. For $700+, you could get a Classic Army with very mediocre internals, but with a metal body. For a little bit more, you could get a G&P with better internals, but not great by any means. This will push you up into the near $1000 range.
Buy what you like, it's a place to start and by no means does it have to be the place to end. Play with it for a bit, get used to the game and tactics, then decide if upgrades or a gun change is warranted.
