Default Best small CP heli for longer flights

I just got in to small electric helicopters (after about 10 years of fixed wing nitro planes) and am having a blast. I just bought a Blade MCPX and am having fun learning the idiosyncrasies of CP helis. One universal truth about the small helis I've been flying is that you only get about 5 or so minutes of flight on a charge. I'm looking to spend at most $400 on my next small CP heli but would really like at least 8 minute flights. I haven't tried aerobatics yet, but in the future I'd probably like to be able to do light aerobatics. I'd say I'm looking for a sport flyer with good handling. Is this possible? I'm open to glow if that would be an option.. Thanks
