Sound advice - picked up a sceond hand automag at a tourney: ex- team spare, tricked out, seen little use, well looked after, very cheap.
Not "fashionable" per se (although I think it looks very nice), but who gives a stuff when it rips out strings of paint and refuses to chop, break, jam or misfire despite what I do to it? Plus you have a very good level of tech support, both at AGD and the web forums, and most of the new parts produced today can be retro fitted to upgrade it.
Ultimately, decide on your budget, and check out as many markers as you can in that range. Bring some paint and most people will be happy for you to fire off a few if you ask. Then you'll find one you really like and you can get on a soapbox on the forums telling new members why they should get one too!
