I'd have to say the biggest drawback is that they tend to be for the more "mechanically inclined" players. There's so much that could go wrong with any AEG, when it goes wrong with a systema, however rare that may be, you usually need a much more trained hand than with a lower end AEG because of how foreign their design is. Not a reason to avoid it, but definitely a con.
I'd have one if I could afford it, but I can't so I'm perfectly happy with my G&P which shoots really far and has a good fps.

For the simple fact of I don't have much experience taking apart anything else I don't take the PTW design as a con. In fact I would be very nervous to take my ICS apart for a lack of experience. My ICS was built by someone else. I have had my PTW apart and back together a few times now and I find the design very easy to work with. I guess it comes down to experience. Our team has a PTW kit that consists enough spare parts to rebuild a gun from the ground up except the body parts so if anything goes wrong we all have enough basic common sense on how to fix something which sometimes means, trying good known parts but it works for us. In fact that is how I repaired my PTW just 2 weeks ago when the motor went.
