We had a father + son duo show up recently with a Krytac SPR and one of the newer VFC Avalons. I can't speak to accuracy, as I didn't get a chance to test that, but I tested their guns for function and chronoed them.
With exactly the same battery in both, the triggers felt identical on them. If it weren't for the flat trigger in the Krytac, I wouldn't have been able to tell them apart. Both equally snappy. No discernible difference in rate of fire.
The VFC chronoed a little hotter - the Krytac was just under 400 FPS, while the Avalon was about 405. Both had roughly the same consistency in their FPS readings if I remember right.
Is there any reason you're looking to shoot 420 FPS, and more importantly, does your local field allow it? 400 FPS on .2s/1.5J is a very common limit for guns capable of automatic fire in Canada, with quite a few fields being lower than that (I know many are 350 and the ones where I live are 380).
Realistically, you won't notice the difference between 390ish and 420 FPS, it'll just mean less fields let you play.
Edit: If you're looking for better ranged performance, before anything, get some heavier BBs (remembering that your FPS limit, strictly speaking, will be lower). Beyond that, a new barrel group and compression upgrades will go a whole lot further for accuracy than a spring change.

Thanks for your advice. My field allows 420 for AEG's 450 for DMR's. I played with a guy last week with an upgraded Krytac who seemed to be out ranging everyone.
Only the one field in my area, so close to 420 is my objective and if I travel I can always change the spring.
Was it a upgraded Avalon? I thought Avalons were about 370 fps. In a shooting test on youtube comparing the two, the Krytac had more fps and tighter groupings. Can't find any range comparisons of the two. But you do have a point. 30 fps won't make a difference, and the gun with the better hop up, cylinder and barrel will have more range.
If the VFC can match performance and possible beat performance with a few upgrades, plus is more durable, it sounds like the better choice.
Can't find much info on upgraded VFC Avalons
