Unless Systema came out with a m100 cylinder I see no future for ptw here.

I have worked on Systema and many G&P mechboxes, and although they are tougher than a Marui, they hav inherent flaws. I've switch stop posts break on both, and this requires a bit of work to fix. They are cast alloy, and are susceptable to temperature extremes, as well as repeated shock impacts.
Now, you may have had experience with 1 or maybe a few PTWs, but my numbers are measured, not guessed. And I've been to games where 12-20 PTWs have been present. The range adavantages are well known, and documented as above.
Your rules are not dissimilar from anyone else's. I use the M110 as my lowest velocity cylinder (M90 is back-up), with the M130 being my primary. I can do in semi-auto what many guys can't do with equal or greater velocity and a c-mag for capacity.
You can't judge the hop-up system against anyone else's because they are so vastly different. The PTW gives far more rotational eneregy to the BB than any other gun, hence it's ability to stay straight for so far. It also gives the BB more linear flight energy because it's not wasting energy lost in the hop-up chamber or in friction against a rubber sleeve. This results in greater distance. Thsi is the science behind them, and not really an "open to interpetation" sort-of-thing.
But this has nothing to do with a V2 mechbox. The V2 is so vastly different from a PTW in all respects.
