I still recommend TMs (or CAs) to beginners over clones.
I don't care what anyone says, I haven't seen a clone I'd put on the same level as the equivalent TM. The JG guns are good... but not as good IMO. For the price they're great... but I'd still rather pay the additional $$$ for a TM/CA gun.
Although, having said that, go back two years and look at what clones were available. 90% of them were complete crap and weren't worth the money. Nowadays we have clones that are actually worth buying. So I think for the most part it simply becomes a trade off of how much money one wants to spend vs. how much work they want to do. We still get the occaisional new guy who is like "I want a good, BS free gun" and who will gladly take the recommendation of a TM or CA over an ACM clone.
The one thing that seems very hard to make newer people understand now though with regards to clones is that "brand name" airsoft guns hold their value much better, and if they decide to sell it later they'll probably lose less money on it than they would a clone.
