G&G Combat Machines are good value in an entry gun, IF, you get the cheaper ones ($180-$250), i.e. a plain carbine or a Raider. When you start looking at the more expensive models in the CM lineup, you quickly start to realize you're paying a lot of money for them to put fancy rails, grips and stocks on a gun with a polymer body. At that higher price point, the small percentage of money saved on the polymer body isn't really worth it anymore. Keep in mind they aren't good base guns to upgrade, it's not really worth putting money in them. Just keep it stock, and when you outgrow it buy into a higher end platform. Then use the G&G as a backup or a loaner.

VFC is widely regarded as one of the top manufacturers of AEG's. For $350 (before taxes) you can get a VFC VR16 Fighter CQB, or for $400 the VFC VR16 Saber CQB. Both are similar in aesthetic to the CM16 SLR, and I would recommend either of them over anything G&G has to offer in an M4. You'd be getting a lot more gun, plus much nicer externals with a metal receiver, for the same cost.
