the CYMA is a decent M14 base.
but will require a lot of internal upgrades and tweeking.
if you just save up for the TM...
you are looking at just a spring, bucking, and barrel as first upgrades.
believe it or not its cheaper to go the TM route. and easier too..
as for length... the standard inner barrel is 500mm that is 1/2" short of the flash hider on the SOCOM... so if you want a longer inner barrel you have to buy the full M14 version and with that you can extend your inner barrel to 550mm.
on the long version the flash hider is a negative 14mm thread (counter-clockwise) so attaching a suppressor is very easy. on some SOCOMs the flash hider is milled into the outer barrel... so you are not able to use a suppressor with it.. unless you can find a compatible QD style.
hope that helps.
