Default Help me choose a .15 engine

I have decided to move up in the world some buy buying a .125 motor or 2. Last one I had was an O.S. MkIII and it was very pleasing. Not sure if it had ball bearings or not. I'm thinking not.
Looking at what O.S. has today tho the LA looks supurb it sorta lacks in the HP dept.
The other model is really too expensive to consider but its HP is greater just not twice the price greater.

Ran accross the Magnum XL-15A BB ABC FSR and was rather impressed! Never had any experience with Magnum though.

Still another part of me wants to go retro and try to get a Cox .15 They really put out for thier weight! Best power to weight ratio I think for this class engine.

I do not plan to race. I do not plan to enter contests with it. I may do some fun fly stuff. Mainly I want the best bang for my buck. No junk. Sure more HP is desireable but not as important as something durable and dependable.

Ideas notions, comments or other?
