Default Mini Graphite or Aldij Question

Hi all, I am wanting to get another plane to replace my x-models whisper, which I had a lot of fun with, but want to replace now! I am contemplating either an Aeromod Aldij, which is a known entity to me, or a Vladmirs Models Mini Graphite, which is not. I am leaning towards the MG as I do not have the time to spend building the Aldij, and am not so sure about cutting the control surfaces out of the wings etc.... - seems to be a lot of effort, and also the finish of these planes is not so good. I have a Prodij and am extremely happy with it, but it is not my show plane! Also the Aldij is going to cost me a little more than I planned on spending. So my question is this - is the MG a good plane, I hear there is Kevlar in the Composite - is this in only the Fuselage, or also in the wing skins?? Is this plane stronger than the x-models whisper and how does it compare to an Opus in terms of strength? This is important, as our slopes are not the best in terms of landing - we do not have nice grass to land on!!

Thanks
S.
