Thx Chris, the gun is for range use and tactical and fclass comps.[/quote]
FWIW, if you are planning on shooting fclass, one nice thing about the "old" AE's with the 5 round single-stack mags are that the interior length measures out at 2.975+" WITHOUT modification. So it has more than enough length to feed a lot of great bullets (like chrisj also pointed out) seated near the lands from the magazine. There's some nice advantages to the AE MKII's, but you'd have to alter the AICS mags to get the same ability. It'd be near impossible to go wrong with the AIAW, AE MKI, or AE MKII. But for the AE owners, I don't think you'll find one who will say that having the extra money to spend on good glass and more ammo was a mistake. With the AE & AW's, if you're in limbo of which one to get...you most likely will not be someone who REQUIRES the capabilities that the AW provides and will not be disappointed with the AE and a bunch of extra money to invest into improving as a shooter. Good luck with you're selection.
