Default Need help deciding between HPI And Associated

I'm looking for Reliability more than anything really.

What I have owned in Nitro MTs are Revo and MGT 3.0 (still running somehow after the hell it has been through) and a Savage Flux 2350.

I'm partial to Associated because my MGT 3.0 was insanely reliable and durable.


Now the choices. Money is not a factor.

MGT 4.6 vs MGT 8.0 vs Savage 4.6 SS vs Savage XL

I know there are different engine sizes but what I'm looking for is something durable and very reliable (motor wise).

I've heard plenty of good things about both 4.6 models from associated and hpi but mixed opinions about the XL and 8.0.
Should I even bother looking at the 8.0 and XL?

My main concern is Engine Reliability and Longevity and the 4.6 models (both of them) have that down. It's the larger ones I worry about. Any and all opinions welcome.
Thank you!
