VFC 416 is a great gun. Exquisite externals, and solid performance ootb - with just a hop and barrel, the performance is very good. You buy VFC to have one of the best AEG bodies in the business. What you do to the inside is just icing on the cake.
The TM is a whole different animal. Also nice externals (VFC has better trades though) and superb build quality, it is an electronic blowback which adds a whole layer of awesomeness AND complication, and to be perfectly honest, TM is designed for play in Japan where FPS limits are much lower. If you're playing cqb only then it's a great option, but to take a Marui gun up to 400fps means an entire overhaul of all the internals, not just a spring change. I'm also finding that there are not many gun docs with experience on Marui EBBs because they just aren't all that popular here, mainly due to low power, high price, and import complications. The platform has a lot to offer (recoil, working bolt stop in empty mag, etc) but is "harder to own" than a more mainstream AEG.
