I planned to buy two guns for my birthday: a Marui P90, and either a Marui SPAS-12 or a Marui Silver Desert Eagle GBB. Just a note, these guns are not going to be linked together like "Primary or Secondary" weapons. So far, I got the Marui P90 and it was successfully shipped to my California house, I am so happy it got there safely through the California customs. Although it came with a strange orange tip, it's something I can manage. I got it from Echigoya Japan, so there is a slight chance they put in the original flash hider in the box somewhere. But I don't really know.
Now it all comes down to either the Desert Eagle or the SPAS-12 since I can only get one gun to go with the P90. I can't get both. Cost doesn't matter between the two guns since they are roughly the same price not considering shipping and handling. Here is a list of pros and cons with each gun. These are points I have come up myself through observations of images, product descriptions, videos, and reviews.
Desert Eagle:
Pros:
-Fake chrome finish looks absolutely beautiful
-Hard kick recoil
-Gas blowback for realism
-Rubber grip

-Rare gun
-Coolest pistol in my opinion
-Weighs a lot
Cons:
-Orange tip is ugly on this gun
-Could possibly be uninteresting to shoot
-Might be hard to get it to California and might pay a lot in shipping
-I might have enough gas pistols already
SPAS-12
Pros:
-Shell it comes with looks awesome
-Shoots three bullets, will be the only gun to do that in my collection
-Great detail
-It's a long gun

-Good shotgun to replace my older single-shot Mossberg 500
-Favorite gun when I was little
-Orange tip won't look too bad on this
-Easy to buy on Evike, no hassle no expensive shipping costs

Cons:

-Magazine trapdoor could easily break
-Possibly weak
-No folding stock
-Very easy to buy anywhere and it's not worth it to buy now.
-Ugly colors
-Very light and unrealistic
-Inaccurate
This was my Pros and Cons list for each of the guns.
I would really appreciate it if someone who owns one of the guns or just anybody in general can give me their personal experiences or opinions on all or one of the two choices so it can help me make my decision. Which one is worth the price? Which one is more fun to shoot? Which one would most likely be discontinued very soon? Which one is more realistic? I can't wait to hear what you all have to say!
