u'd be better off with the mini! ive shot both and the mini is lightning fast and soo lite! i wud however mibi luk at gettin a 14 inch barrel for the mini the stock 12 inch one can be a bit tempremental at times...but yeh if it was me then i wud go for the mini every time!

the stock comes with a .691 bore, which is quite a good size for most paints.

but it is generally a good idea to get a barrel set as you can match bore size to paint much better.

Empire do a revolver set which seems quite good, a few of storm have those, I'm using a evil pipe kit which i get on well with.

I would say keep your pm5. With a ul frame, it will kill a mini.

All in all mate, its your decision and personal preference on what you think, Mini is superior in my opinion though
Try out both of them and see what you think.

i used to have a pm5 and they run sweet as a whistle light, accurate, great over the chrono and did i mention throws paint faster than a flys wings flap

it would kill a mini in every aspect

all a mini has is being light and that dosn't make up for it being a poppet valve which can be difficult to maintain and is unnesseserily complicated cos have switched around where the batterys go and where the air goes

for gods sake do yourself a favour just get the ul frame and then your pm5's light and the mini has nothing over it and whats an oz when your on the field

Have you even used a mini?
What you may call unnecessarily complicated could also be viewed as innovation and a huge improvement by reducing the need for macroline, macroline adapters. With the mini's setup it's actually easier to access the electronics than nearly every other gun requiring the removal of just one screw to access the electronics and adjust the settings.

The PM5 is fast becoming obsolete. It's a brick and will be over 3 years old come the end of this season.

If you already have a PM5 and love it, then definitely check out the UL frame, especially if you like the feel of it and are comfortable with it. But the fact that you can get a very good condition 2nd hand mini for about 200 quid then monetarily it really doesn't make sense to spend 150 quid on just a frame for a 2 year old gat.

In the end go for whatever you feel suits you best and fits your budget.
