Default RE: E-Flite Extra 260

Hey Everyone
I am in a predicamnet here, not sure whether to buy the E-Flite Extra 260 or the Shockflyer Yak 54. Kind of wiery about rc-sports quote
"I talked to a friend who flew his yesterday, he was disappointed. He said it flew heavy and this is someone that has flown almost every piece of foam out there. I almost bought one and decided to go with a Shocky instead."
I almost ordered one from Great Hobbies but decided to hold on because of rc-sports quote. G H does not have any in stock right now because they are new stock and will be getting them in 2 or 3 weeks. I want to buy the yak because of the videos I've and the forums I have read. Only problem is that I have an GSM Outrunner and wondered if anyone has some tips on specs to cut the foam at to fit the motor in. The Extra 260 has a precut space for outrunner motors and it looks like a solid plane and that is why I was interested. I previously used this motor in my shockflyer edge which had high power throughout the entire flight. Only problem is is that the motor fell off everytime I would land because of nosing over (I usually catch it in a hover but somedays its a bit too windy). Very weak setup and hard to make strong. It was also hard to get the foam cut so that the motor was somewhat align with the fuselage. Please leave tips and thoughts on how to make the Yak strong and durable for an Outrunner Brushless Motor. Thanks
