Something to consider of Hi-Caps is the need to wind them up to keep the rounds flowing. I avoided hi-caps for this reason and use mid-caps, but perhaps someone here will tell you if its really that much of a bother.
FWIW, I originally wanted to get a G36, and handled both the TM and the CA (though not at the same time, nor was I able to fire them). I didn't really come away thinking either was better, the material on both was a lot of plastic either way. I had decided on the CA because I wanted the K instead of the C to mount an AG on later in life. When I went to give it a final look and make a purchase, I ended up handling a TM M4 S-system and there was no turning back. The real difference here was a level of precision and detail the TM stuff seems to exude over other brands. No matter how close I pulled the gun in, it seemed like the realism was down to tiny details and simply put, I had a lot more confidence the S-system would stand-up to abuse. Not to make your choice harder than it is, but I would recommend putting one in your hands next to either G36 and see what you think before plunking down your first big bucks.
