Is it worth it to buy a 200 dollar paintball gun?

I started to play paintball this summer (08) and it is alot of fun. To start off I bought a Spyder Sonix. It is an alright gun for a beginner, but I want something that can be a little more reliable. I'm looking towards the Proto Slg 08, or Spyder Electra 08. Are these good reliable guns and is it worth 200 bucks for someone who maybe plays about 10 times a year? Thanks
