I also found "Smooth" version here Which one do you think is better?
Older version seem to be more durable cause have two rails....
total $80

Consider quality, durability and M130 spring...
Both companies (Prommy & Modify) make very high quality parts (Modify was an OEM manufacturer of Guarder internal parts for a looooong time). I'd have to assume that Kanzen's ceramic bearings are better quality than Modify's steel ones, though.

Assuming you know how to shim gear well, the Prommy/Kanzen package is better overall, although I think the Modify "smooth" gears are a better buy considering the price. I *really* like the Modify Modular gears, to the point that I specifically buy gearbox shells that will accommodate them (see below). I have 5 sets of the older ones (not "smooth") in guns from 280 fps (high speed) to 470 fps ("high torque") that I have been using for 3 years and have never had a problem.

Be aware that Modify modular gears (the old ones with 2 rails on the frame) will not fit in some aftermarket "reinforced" mechboxes, as they were designed for a stock Tokyo Marui mechbox ONLY. The G&P reinforced gearbox will not accept them. See my post here for more info:

New Modular Gear Set by MODIFY - Page 3 - Filipino Airsoft (FAS)

You will need to get the "smooth" set for your reinforced G&P mechbox if you want to go with Modify gears.

About the M140 vs M160 - the M160 is G&P's answer to the Systema Magnum - it is both high speed and high torque. Since you wanted to keep the ROF down, the M140 (high torque only) is a better choice. However, if you have a programmable MOSFET that allows you to adjust motor speed, the M160 would be a better value.
