You have to take into account, from the advice given, that half of the crowd still only has "normal power" airguns designed to shoot pellets. The 120fpe .22's are a fairly recent development and not many have them, but those coming into airgunning from firearms are going that way quite a bit. If that's "the crowd" your in, and you think that you're going to be a slug shooter, than your choice is more obvious. You didn't say if you're currently shooting slugs, or not, in your question, just that you have some .25s already. You didn't state your intended purpose either. Follow whatever crowd you want to be in. Cost, seems to be driving most of the opinions on choice here, but if you are buying a newer high power platform then that's going to mean a lot less to you. I will say that there is nothing casual about the high power slug shooting guns in any caliber, or the +75fpe pellet guns, I personally, for this reason, shoot them less, not because of cost, but conditions. You just need to determine what you want to do, and where, under what conditions and restrictions, and how often and how much, and if any frugality is involved, and there's your answer.
