Simple answer, if you can afford it, go straight for the modern PCP's, its not just fashion that they are used by the top level shooters.
Mine is not a collection, it is simply that I did not sell my old ones when I bought new so I have my match air pistol shooting history for the last 40 years, from my original FWB 65 through the SSP's, Co2's to modern PCP's. I still occasionally shoot the old ones, they are nice, and I did my personal best ever 40 shot at ten metres with a FAS 604 of 384 but I was 30 years younger then! The old guns are just not in the same league as the modern PCP's, things do move on.
Most good clubs have an air bottle so filling is no problem, if yours does'nt better to buy your own bottle unless you are very fit and enjoy the heavy exercise of a pump!
Good shooting
