Default which Beginner plane?

hi, i am (apart from experience with a 2 channel when i was 12) a beginner pilot. I have done my research, and established criteria for my first real airplane. 1 Propellor in the back, so that when i crash, it wont be damaged. 2 at least three channels, four is better, five is nice but i wouldnt know how to use it. 3 under 200$ 4 MUST BE READY TO FLY, i dont yet have the experience to mess around with ARF, or worse yet a kit. 5 This isnt a must, but i would like for it to have the option of adding an fpv rig to it.
based on these criterion, i have narrowed it down to 2 choices, the bananahobby Skysurfer V5, or the hobby king Bixler 2.
The bixler is about 50$ cheaper, which i dont understand, as they have roughly similar capabilities. If anyone can enlighten me as to why the bixler is cheaper, that would be abig help.
Additionaly, if you know of any other planes which meet the criteria, please let me know about them, as i try not to be narrow minded.
Thanks!
