Default Ebay / hong kong heli's, the good / bad / ugly?

Well guys I've been flying my blade cp for a while and I can hover pretty good, I'm looking to get a new one and I'd like to get something slightly bigger but I don't want to jump right in and get a t-rex or anything up there like that.
I know with lower price comes less build quality but I'd much rather get a lower priced heli right now.
I've been looking around for RTF's and I"ve seen some on ebay and wondering which you all have had experience with or know to stay away from, I was looking falcon 3d but it seems to be one to keep away from as well. so heres what I've found

the quick ep-8

but is still kinda pricey for me, I do like the size of it

ark x-400 (is this the same as teh helimax mx400?)

So what do you all think? Whats the good / the bad / and the ugly on them?
Basically looking for a well performing good duration hover / forward flight bird.
Thanks!
