Default Glow or Electric

Purchased a 3D genesis, looking for some feedback on engines and motors.
I will be doing 50% pattern flying, 50% 3D (i know that this plane is not a true pattern bird).

I've got it narrowed down to these choices:

1. YS 1.70

2. New Hacker Q60

3. Plettenberg 30-10

Cons for the above:

1. Vibration, tuning, noise

2. new on the market, batteries expensive, short flight times

3. only heard great things about this motor, expensive batteries, short flight times

Love the feel of four strokes, great low end torque.
I'm open to something different as long as it can compare to the power of the YS, this will be my first large electric.

Any suggestions?
