Steer clear. I wouldn't touch anything Lancer related......

G&G tend to be solid overall - especially in recent months they've come on leaps and bounds.I never really consider "building from scratch" but rather looking at a solid base, which means G&G and Cyma are right up there for starting points.
Could be an issue. You never know what parts are going to be in a build unless specifically listed and to cram all that into an AEG for that sort of money almost always means that corners are cut somewhere. All a shooting and Chrono test can confirm is rough, out-of-the-box performance - he certainly doesn't show you what it can do at extended ranges.....and if he's that excited over an average AEG (that sounds ropey) I would also guess he's not an experienced player. There's never going to be a perspective on longevity or quality other than in the most ambiguous terms (feels solid is a classic....) and most, if not all, retailers gloss over concerns or problems - they WANT your money. One thing to re-emphasise is that practically no gun, except high-end custom jobs, is going to be "awesome" (for a given and arbitrary value of awesome) out of the box....and certainly not for that price. This is part of the market Novoritsch has keyed into: People want to field upgraded, high-performance guns immediately and there's a massive range out there.....but equally, there are some massive piles of shit.
You could either risk it for the biscuit, or save and invest in a better purchase. Heck, you could even buy a base and incrementally upgrade it but you would, perhaps, be unhappy with the performance until that point and in turn, that could impact your fun.
Gone are the days when we used stock TMs
The problem is that the smaller cylinder doesn't in any way assist with the sort of performance you would demand in order to consider it as a contender alongside SRS, Marui, ICS......you need a heavier spring which ruins any ergonomic benefits from a short bolt pull. On top of that, I've seen a lot of techs experiencing problems with their AEGs - more than average.
That said, I guess you don't have much experience overall so every replica you pick up is new and shiny
