A Gtek 160R for 400 would be very good. I typically see used websites like TMG or MazensPB going for a bit higher. Just get pictures and any questions you have answered.
It uses the Gamma Core which is very efficient and very simple to maintain. The OLED board is stock and there's a variety of teams that still use them even up to the Pro level. Nothing wrong with it for a tournament or recball marker.
Is it as "good as" an Etek 5? That's pretty subjective, if I had an Etek 5 and 160r used at a $400 price point I'd get the 160R. And that mostly boils down to not wanting to deal with macro-line ever again. Both would be solid and reliable markers for a long time.
A suggestion for hoppers would be the Spire 3 or Spire IR. A Dye Rotor R2 while more expensive is also a good choice. I'd also suggest a Ninja SL2 77CI or HK Army Aero 80CI. I'm 6' 1" with longer arms and a 68/45 from today wouldn't fit me anymore.
If you can try out a setup with different tank sizes and see what you prefer.
