More advise if possible.

Banicos,
Go by what the locals are using. If you liked the gun you borrowed from your cousin get this one.
In general terms, I would prefer a
Stealth/Spark over the Cyrano. Stealth/Spark and Cyrano are 99% the same gun, but the Stealth/Sparks is about 40% cheaper and much better balanced; the tapered plastic front part on the Cyrano (thus the name) is a conceptual error IMO (less air less overall, less buoyancy in the front part); the grip on the handle or the plastic bag that comes with the Cyrano does not justify the price difference.
For a Stealth/Spark 85 you will pay
EUR70-90 in Italy (with a bit of bargaining you will even get it much cheaper unless you are into collecting invoices with Italian value added tax
)

I believe, in Cyprus you will be asked to pay twice as much.
Buy tahitian Seatec or Devoto spare shafts for your pneumatic as well. The threaded one that come with every gun you can either (i) give to your cousin or (ii) use it as a curtain rod

P.S. Scubaland and the DB shop are not recommendable for pneumatic guns (limited choice, namely no Stealth/Sparks(!) and quality shafts, plus they are overpriced in this category of gear).
