I think your questions have been answered on the Pump/Stock forum, but here's my $.02:

I love it.
Keep the M98 for backup; semis come in handy at night. ;-}
I tried a number of pumps before the Phantom; SL-68 II, Hammer, etc. Nothing I have shoots as well as the Phantom (I don't own a 'Cocker, 'Mag, or electro).

I assume that you have the basics down (use of cover, snap-shooting, etc), so you should see rapid improvement to your game, assuming that you're not playing speedball against experienced teams. I play a lot of rec ball with new/casual players, who don't move a lot, so I've had time to develop my skills. I started out with the SL-68 II, but had to go to a M98 until I got the basics down (too many head shots).
It takes patience; which a true sniper has. I am frequently the only pump player on the field. It makes the few eliminations per game that I get that much sweeter, and it evens things up with the Newbies. You will be respected for just stepping onto the field with a pump in an open-semi game, more so if (when) you eliminate someone.

Worst case, the resale value of the Phantom is high. ;-]
I have a GF; plan to upgrade to stock feed in the near future (when I get a little bit better). You can order both, but I recommend starting with a hopper (150 rnd). The auto-trigger comes in handy. Occasionally some fool will try to bunker the pump guy, only to be met with a hail of paint. It's not the most accurate shooting, but it keeps their heads down.

Let's see; you should; it's worth it; with practice, your effective ROF will be fine; there is no comparison. I think I've said this before, but I don't use my Flatline anymore; when I need a semi, I use my other M98 with J&J Ceramic barrel. It's more consistent at my typical engagement range than the Flatline is, and it's less picky about paint (can you say FPO?).
