Default hpi or traxxas?

hi, im really torn between 3 different rc cars, the e savage, the savage xs flux and the traxxas mini e revo. im only 14 and im spending the money ive worked for and saved for over a year and i have about 400 dollars. i like the e savage because its size and looks but its not very fast and doesnt handle that well. the savage xs flux is really fast and durable but alot of people say its bad. and the merv is quick handles good but isnt durable. please help! p.s. im wanting to be able to jump it high, upgrade it alot, and be good on road and off road. thanks!

savage is overpriced for its speed (old ESC/motors, yet price is the same as it was years ago)
xs flux is OK. overpowered and will not handle well at all.
merv is OK as well. crappy traxxas shocks leak, I dont care for the battery trays either.

why stuck on smaller scale? where do you intend to drive it?
for $400, there are better 1/10 scale models I would be looking at.
