Will throw in my two bits for what it's worth.
1. Ninja or Crossfire. Ninja has excellent CS. I use the Grey Ghost. Not because it's lighter, as per Goatboy, but because it's cheaper, as per my wallet. And it's your style, of course, but do for the love of Pete at least consider running the tank on the marker.
2. You have all manner of options if you want new. With a 15-ish year hiatus, you pretty well missed the ROF arms race/bubble/bust, and the competitive scene is now slowed to a virtual snail's pace. The Revy is still plenty fine for rec play. So fine, they brought it back. You can buy them new at Dick's, or wherever. $40.00 cheap. As MAGgot noted, you already know what you're getting. Also, you already have it, so it's $0.00 cheap. Keep it. For a little more ($70-ish) you can go with an Invert/Halo Too. Great hopper for the money, but getting dated. Pinokio ($85-ish) is even better, extremely simple, fast, and has unbelievable battery life, though it is ugly and bulky (holds 230) and the plastic is so-so. But with the extended nose cone you can hold 400-ish rounds for some deliciously unfair hopper ball.
If you are very patient, you can get brand new Rotors for $100.00. They are stupidly well made (they run under water, have heavy, tough plastic, and can serve in a pinch for a pickup game of Thanksgiving afternoon football), stupidly fast, have stupidly simple, tool-less disassembly, can be taken apart and put back together in less than a minute, and have a proven track record.
Good luck!
