it all depends on your budget, and how far you want to go...
a couple hundred dollars and a recball idea would not necessarily require you to purchase something like an Angel Fly while a few thousand and a tournament goal might.

if your looking at spending that amount and your thinking about getting serious into the sport. i would recommend looking the the Angel Speed. i personally own one and love it. you can usually find them for around 850 now...

Does that 900 budget cover everything or just the marker itself? If it's just the marker then I'd recommend either a Speed or a Dye Matrix (but ony go with the matrix if you're a good tinkerer... they can be a mofo to maintain, but they can be worth it as well). Otherwise if the 900 is for the full setup, I'd either go with a cheaper electro or see if you could get a used rig off of the classifides section here. Just keep in mind that a good HPA tank and a fast hopper are just about required for all angel owners so don't go spending all your money on a kick-ass gun if you're not gonna be able to get the other accessories.

yeah, good call. just make sure that the person you are buying a second hand marker from is reliable. i had the case for when i bought my first LCD, it was missing the front half of the LPR...kinda sucked...good thing for angel techs that like hooking poor kids like me up...
