Trying to Decide which .177

I've been thinking of several options I could do.
Option 1:
- I was thinking of purchasing a 500mm Maverick .177 barrel kit from Utah but I've read mix reviews on FX's .177 barrels. Not sure if I want to take a gamble. Another concern is I'm not sure if the Maverick will like the .177 barrel.
Option 2:
- The FX .177 Dream Tact Compact w/ bottle might be the perfect choice. I just need to know if the Dream Tact will give me 18-20 ft-lbs. I believe it should. Again I noticed most people aren't raving about the .177 barrel."
I presently own and shoot both of these very built /shooting pcps and I must say that both of them are up for the task if needed. Having an extra magazine isn't a bad idea because you're going to have more shots at the end of your shoot plus air to boot! 22 shots isn't bad per magazine shooting 13.43 JSB Exacts with countless shots!

ghost plus shoots great big shot count
I just depowered my Revere yesterday to 15 ft/ibs. Now its a real peach for backyard or gardenshooting. I get some 110 shots per fill. My prefered pellets is now the JSB 8,44grains and H&N Hornets. But you are right. One need a more powerful .177cal as 2nd when fan of this caliber. BTW..its very hard to look for a second gun if one once had a Revere.
