Buying an A-5

Well, I have decided that it is finally time to delegate the Spyder MR1 to a backup gun and purchase at Tippmann A5. I don't really have anything against the X7, its just new and I don't want a first-run.

So far, here is what I have come up with to put on it
-->2 finger electronic trigger frame (WAS board, if I can find it cheap)
-->OpsGear UMP kit (body, magazine, G36 folding stock, front and rear sights)
-->12" J&J barrel

I already have a 68/4500 HPA tank with remote. Anything else you guys think I might need? Questions/comments/"you're a noob stfu"/concerns? I would appreciate some feedback

I personally like the 380 round hopper, good for slinging a lot of paint
Also, I use a 3-point sling, good for a long day on the scenario field.

Know what pressure your HP HPA tank is set at if you have a preset. If you're on a reg, no problem, adjust as required. I found my A-5 needed 900 psi to operate, but it runs an R/T, so your set-up will probably like a 850 or so setting. I say this because I just bought another preset Highout HPA, but it's set at about 815 and useless on both our A-5 and 98.

I have a e-grip for a A-5 in the B/S/T. Make an offer, I need to get rid of it.
I like the J&J barrels, shoot thru ball breaks, I loved mine, but went with the apex.
