This is what I have to say since I've handled both guns before:

You can effectively play a game with 1 hi-cap than with 1 low cap. I own a CA36K and the hi-cap works perfectly.

According to CA, the gears are constructed from higher quality/stronger metals. Upon inspecting my CA36K's gears, they are heavier than TM's but they don't look/feel as good as Systema's gears. Performance wise... I haven't shot that many rounds yet so I can't comment.

Both the top rails of the TM G36C and CA36C have a metal underlining insert.

The motor on the CA36C is of excellent quality... at par with TM EG1000.

CA does save you $$$ by including all 3 handguard rails with the CA36C.

CA's selector switch is more robust than TM's. With TM, the selector switch can easily be pressed against the body causing scratches when it is rotated.

Would it be ok to use 2 consecutive mini's, instead of a large? (problems with that?

2 mini batteries should last a whole day if you don't spray and pray. Currently you can get mini batteries with the longevity of 1100 mah.

I'm not too crazy on the non-skeletal stock, so i'd steer away unless large grip is a no-no and mini's aren'nt enough.

Large handguards are awkward looking. The current ones for the G36 series are not textured and they stand out from the textured bodies of both TM's and CA's G36C guns.
