Sounds to me like you want the best of both worlds.
Either that or you don't really know what you want your gun to do.
If you're so desperate on getting a higher FPS, why don't you just invest in a CO2 mag or something?
If you want your distance to shoot past it's limits, use your rifle or something similar to your pistol (like an SMG) that's designed to carry heavier bb's.

I'm leaning towards the stock barrel is rubbish... though the "free" extended barrels can't be that much better so the only variable left is length.

This is not true. The other variable is you. The only real way to absolutely attain identical results is to use a gun grip like TC suggested. Otherwise, regardless of how "solid" you think your technique is, evidence shows that at some point that variable has changed. And the factual evidence of this is your results...
A high output blowoff valve is not as beneficial as you think it would be. They are only as good as the temperature the mag is operating in. Thus, if your magazine drops in temperature (which it will), that blowoff valve becomes basically moot. The kicker is that because of it's perpetuancy to let more propellant out of the mag, it will speed up the cooling of your magazine. What will happen is that you will get the FPS output that you desire for the first three of four shots then it will eventually normalize and drop your FPS values to norms (or a bit higher).
A pistol is a viable primary but i think it's a poor choice. Unless the game your participating requires you to use it ( like say IPSC type settings ), then there really is no need to bust it out.
You'll come to realize this fact the more you stick with airsoft and more the experience you gain....
