VFC has some of the best externals in the industry, and is more reliable and better in terms of consistency and overall performance compared to a G&G. I think it is quite worth it, but then again it's still 280$ lol
If you think you can handle/deal with a higher-end gun and that you'll stay in the sport for a while, I'd suggest the VFC. Just read reviews n stuff and figure out what you want to do
