Hi Chris, as far as accuracy goes, you wont notice much of a difference. I have owned both of these guns, and the BSA shoots just as well as the Daystate. The electronics are kind of useful (the bleep facility is handy to tell you when you are down to your last shot in the mag) but it's just another potential thing to go wrong.
Handling wise, the guns are quite similar. I prefer the magazine system on the Daystate's over the R10's (always shot my R10 with a single shot adaptor). The trigger on the Daystate is very light (too light for some), and if you go for the synthetic stock version of the Airwolf, the stock marks very easily and never looks clean (finger marks, grease, etc). Oh yeah, you have no idea how annoyed you will be one day, when you go out shooting, get all your kit laid out, then realise you have left the gun isolation key at home and you have one dead gun (you will do it one day, trust me).
You will see by my signature, that I now own a Wolverine type B, with a 500cc bottle fitted (better balance and around 400-450 shot capacity). I much prefer the mechanical action on this to the electronic system on the Airwolf. If you are hankering after a Daystate, I would seriously take a look at the Wolverine before you buy an Airwolf. The electronics on the Airwolf are kinda cool and blingy, but you soon get used to them once you have one. I certainly wouldnt buy one just for that though.
Summing up, is the R10 a good rifle? yes it is.
Is the Airwolf more accurate? no it isn't.
Is the upgrade worth a £700-£800 uplift? certainly not.
Hope this helps matey.
Les

Is there such a thing as owning too many guns?
