m98 w/ LP kit on CO2 w/ palmer stabilizer, or just a nitro tank?

[your mom]

ok, i want tighter groupings from my 98custom, so i've decided to regulate the operating pressure. i want to get a low pressure kit and a palmer stabilizer to regulate the pressure (it also keeps liquid Co2 out of the gun) , cos i cant afford another 200 for a tank as well. however, the local shop owner says i'd be better off getting a nitro tank. bearing in mind i won't have an lp kit or a secondary reg if i buy the nitro tank, which should i get?

ps, i already have a freak, so the barrel/paint isnt an issue here.

just run it on air/nitro..on a preset reg...more consistent than co2 and will therefore improve accuracy/group size....

yeah, but even though it's co2, shouldn't the palmer stabilizer be able to maintain a steady pressure just as well as the preset reg on a nitro tank? with an LP kit it'll run 300-400 psi, so i don't think the tank could run out of gaseous co2 unless i went mad raving bonkers on the trigger, which is impossible.

i'll eventually get both(LP kit and nitro tank), i just want to get the best option first, plus i don't know when i'll be able to afford the other option...

any more advice out there?

If it was me, I'd save up for a high class marker instead of dropping all those dollars into 98. Save yourself the 200 on the tank, the 100 or so for the LP kit, and there's 300 right there. You could buy yourself a used 'cocker, Impulse or Bushmaster for that easy.
