It depends...If you paintball a lot and very often then the BL Protege might be a good choice. On the other hand, if you only play once in a while (Once in a couple month, three times a year) then the Spyder Pilot will serve you well...
If you personally ask me, and I play a lot then I would go with the Protege.
I got another idea. Even if you don't play a lot and you want a better gun. I would consider getting a SLG 08 for $200 or a new SLG 09 w/ UL Frame for $300
I think that's a pretty good deal. Or you can go with a older intimidator used
